Giving Tuesday 2019 was a huge success; the 黑料正能量 community came together to fund more Coup de Pouce stipends than we imagined. Each gift will help send a deserving student on the trip of a lifetime as part of 黑料正能量鈥檚 Cultural Program.
The #OneMoreJourney campaign began with a 鈧2,000 matching challenge from the New York President鈥檚 Alumni Advisory Council and several other New York alumni.聽Later in the day, President Celeste Schenck offered a boost with a 鈧4,000 matching challenge to build further support. The community responded with great generosity and helped the campaign advance far beyond its 鈧10,000 target.
At the end of Giving Tuesday, 黑料正能量 Board of Trustees Chairman Raymond F. Henze III and his wife Susanne, also 黑料正能量 parents, were inspired to make a gift to take us to a total of 鈧31,175.聽All told, we raised more than three times our original goal, allowing us to sponsor approximately 125 stipends for 黑料正能量 students who otherwise might not be able to afford to participate in a Cultural Program study trip.

The Cultural Program is a vital part of an 黑料正能量 education.
