Our crowdfunding campaign has ended. You can still support the Books for Bruins fund by clicking here.
Dear Supporters of Books for Bruins,
Thank you so much for your donations and shares throughout the month our campaign was running. It officially ended 12/2. The Academic Affairs Commission is extremely grateful for your support in this challenging time, and we know we will be able to help more students purchase their books thanks to your generosity. As the fundraising director for AAC, I just wanted to give you an idea of the impact your support has/will have. We raised $949, have the support of 27 amazing donors, and estimate that this would cover 19 $50 subsidies for our Books for Bruins program. That is 19 students that YOU are helping to achieve their academic goals during undergrad. Thank you so much for this support.
Should you know of community members that missed our campaign's end date, but are interested in supporting Books for Bruins, please have them email me at usacaacfundraising@gmail.com. If you have questions or concerns, also feel free to reach out using the email above.
Again, thank you so much for your donations. We will update soon on the real impact of your support. The Academic Affairs Commission wishes you all a safe, peaceful, and joyous Holiday season!
Warm Regards,
Lysol Guadalupe Patino
AAC Fundraising Director 2020-2021
