Give a Gift

Thank you to Those who Generously support our club

Are you interested in sponsoring the Theme Park Enthusiasts? We attend many events each year, including theme park design competitions, ASTM Conferences, industry networking events, and of course theme parks. In addition to travelling, we exhibit in many major events, such as Imagine RIT and the Rochester Mini Maker Faire. Gifts from people like you help allow us to do all of these things through out the year.

At the end of the Spring 2026 Semester, our founding faculty advisor Tim Lanschoot retired from teaching. From our founding in 2014, he has mentored countless students who share a love for the engineering, storytelling, and design behind the world's greatest theme parks. Just before his retirement, Tim was named RIT's Distinguished Advisor of the Year, a fitting tribute to a career built on showing up for students.

Now, RIT Alumnus and Trustee Chance Wright is inviting fellow alumni, parents, and friends to help secure Tim's legacy for good by creating the Landschoot Theme Park Enthusiasts Endowment. This endowment will support the club's operations in perpetuity, ensuring future students have the same opportunities to explore, build, and grow that Tim made possible.

And here's the best part: Chance Wright will double every gift made to this fund, with a 3:1 match.

Your gift, no matter the size, will go three times as far in honoring Tim and sustaining the club he helped build.
