LDHL is proud to mark 65 years of opening doors to opportunity! Since February 1961, the power of community support—paired with the dedication of our loan recipients—has made an incredible difference. Here’s to the lives changed, the futures built, and the community that makes it all possible. 💙

Callaghan Petrosky is the recipient of the Frances Sarkisian Trust Legacy Loan. Callaghan graduated from homeschool in 2025. He is attending Temple University, majoring in musical theater. During high school, Callaghan was involved in many community and high school theaters in the Lancaster area. He is an Eagle Scout, and this summer he performed in “Hadestown” at the Gretna Theater. Callaghan's greatest achievements were receiving two Hershey Theater Apollo Awards; one for outstanding lead actor in a musical and the other for outstanding supporting actor in a musical. His life goal is to earn a degree and continue to perform and bring joy to as many people as he can.

#ThankyouThursday: "The Lancaster Dollars loan gave me peace of mind both in paying for college, but also in my ability to pay it off after graduation due to the lack of interest on the loan." ~Sarah H. (University of Pennsylvania)
