Drumroll, please .....
Because of your generous and enthusiastic support, the NU Club of DC was able to raise $4,859 in support of summer internship grants! Thanks to our donors, we blew by our initial goal of $3,000 in the early afternoon and then continued to rock & roll with additional gifts until midnight, finishing at more than 160% of our goal. THANK YOU for supporting the Purple Network in the DC area!
With the addition of your #CATSGiveBack gifts, the DC Club's Summer Internship Grant Fund has grown to a current total of $10,669!! This translates into almost 4 grant awards - which already exceeds the number of awards we were able to provide last summer. And more importantly, puts us well on the road to our targeted 6 grant awards (or a total of $18,000)!
Thank you again for your generosity and for helping NU students pursue summer internships in the DC area!
Your generosity is overwhelming! You have enabled us to achieve 160% of our goal - and to further fund summer internship grants that will be used in the Washington DC Area during the summer of 2018.
Thank you for demonstrating the power of the Northwestern Network!
On behalf of the NU students who will benefit from financial support for their DC-area summer internships, we send our deepest appreciation and gratitude for your overwhelming generosity! Thank you, thank you, thank you!
And onward to our (second) stretch goal of $4,500 (or 150% of our initial goal) - and the equivalent of 1.5 SIGP grants!
#CATSGiveBack in an awesome - and thoroughly purple - way!
