About this Campaign
The Brandon S. Kramm Memorial Endowment Fund was established in 2014 by friends, classmates and members of the Kramm family to provide support for athletic programs and/or facilities with resources to strengthen and maintain the district’s athletic programs.
About Brandon:
Brandon was a 2001 graduate of Lewisburg Area High School (LAHS) where he was an exemplary student and a stand-out athlete in football, basketball and baseball. He was a 2005 graduate of Harvard University with a degree in Economics and a minor in Spanish. As a lasting tribute to the impact Brandon had on his friends, family and the LAHS community, the endowment was established to ensure funding for current and future high school students for distinguished athletic programs and facilities.
Based on a request from Brandon's family and friends, in 2016 the foundation offered to use endowment funds to construct "The Brandon Kramm Memorial Baseball Field" at the new high school campus. A goal of $350,000-$500,000 was established to make this project a reality.
A gift of appreciated stocks, bonds, or mutual funds that have been held more than one year is a popular alternative to donating cash. Through a gift of securities you may avoid the capital gains taxes on the appreciation and receive a charitable income tax deduction.

With your help, this wonderful legacy to Brandon could become a reality in the near future. We encourage you to make gift to support this “Field of Dreams” project by clicking on the link below! Thank you for your consideration.
