President's Leadership Reception
Date/Time: May 11, 2027
Place: Summit Room, Thomas College Campus
This invitation-only event is open to donors and giving society members who have generously donated $1,000 or more within an academic year. Held in the Summit Room in the Spann Student Commons, this event is held each May prior to Commencement and features updates from President Jeannine Diddle Uzzi on the College’s strategic plan. Donors form connections with one another over cocktails and hors d’oeuvres, celebrating how their support sustains and builds Thomas’s future.
Lunder Scholars Golf Invitational
Date/Time: September 6, 2027
Place: Belgrade Lakes Golf Club
Each fall, Thomas College hosts a golf tournament at the beautiful Belgrade Lakes Golf Course, raising funds that are matched by the Lunder Foundation to support student scholarships. Over the past 20+ years, more than $1.1 million have been awarded to nearly 500 Thomas students. The event provides regional businesses and major donors the opportunity to renew their commitment to supporting the College’s mission to prepare students for success in their personal and professional lives and for leadership and service in their communities.
Homecoming & Family Weekend
A few weeks into the fall semester, the Thomas campus is surrounded by multicolored leaves and crisp autumn air—the perfect time to invite our alumni, community partners, parents, and families for a weekend of fun and friendship. With food trucks, recreation, Terrier games, reunions, and family-friendly activities, Homecoming & Family Weekend is one of Thomas’s most treasured annual traditions. Support from this event goes directly to the Thomas Fund, the annual fund that sustains and supports the yearly events and operations of the College.

Annual Day of Giving
Thomas College’s annual Day of Giving is an intensive 24-hour fundraising blitz that engages donors at all levels of giving and of all interests. The morning begins with a scavenger hunt around campus where students search for hidden treasures that represent different donor contributions. Students then select from an extensive list of funds and activities to gift their treasure. Throughout the day, special events are hosted in the Spann Student Commons to engage students, staff, and faculty in philanthropy and to grow the giving community of the College. Some gifts are designated to scholarships, athletics, clubs, and general operations, but many gifts are simply added to the Thomas Fund, which gives the College the ability to designate the money to the areas of highest need.
