(LaPorte County, IN) - Student aid at LaLumiere got an assist this week from a former basketball star.  Recent alum Jaren Jackson Jr, pledged $60,000 to the school’s Bridge Fund, which helps defray school expenses beyond tuition for qualifying students.

Jackson now plays in the NBA for the Memphis Grizzlies.  With matching donations, LaLumiere brought in nearly $120,000 on Giving Tuesday.
