During Bethune-Cookman University’s homecoming football game, Nancy and Lowell Lohman presented a check for $100,000 to the school to provide student scholarships and athletic support.
The Lohmans are longtime business owners and philanthropists in Central Florida.
The evening prior to the B-CU Homecoming game, Lowell Lohman met with the football team and provided an inspirational message about leadership and life success, according to a school spokeswoman.
Dr. Hubert Grimes, interim president of B-CU, said community partnerships play a vital role in preparing current students for the global workforce.
“In our effort to demonstrate collaboration and relationship building, we are thankful to the Lohmans for their generosity,” he said. “Contributions from the local community are beneficial to our students, because it also gives local business owners and our students an opportunity to cultivate relationships right here in the community while they matriculate through B-CU.”
Lowell Lohman called Bethune-Cookman University an integral and important organization in the community.
“We are lucky to have this university as a part of the fabric of Daytona Beach,” said Nancy Lohman. “We all need to assist and support them in any way we can.”
Lowell Lohman is a graduate of Florida State University, and Nancy Lohman is a graduate of Ohio State University with a master’s degree from Gonzaga University.
The Lohmans, along with son Ty and Lowell’s brother Victor, were the largest private owners of funeral homes and cemeteries in Florida with 34 locations throughout their careers. They presently own 11 apartment complexes totaling 2,492 apartment units.
