Today is the last day of a historic outpouring of support from the AAP giving community. Your generosity has helped us reach our milestone fundraising goal, and the gifts are still coming in! 

There is still time until the campaign closes at midnight to share with others how they can help programs like AAP's Center for Community College Partnerships (CCCP) that play an essential role in support for incoming transfer student needs that have arisen as a result of the pandemic. 

Thank you! You have provided resources and increased opportunities for success for high-financial need, low-income, and first-generation students at UCLA. We look forward to celebrating this, and so much more next year with you during AAP's 50th anniversary.

Today, James Barragan '13 shares why he is giving back and helping UCLA's Academic Advancement Program (AAP) celebrate #GivingTuesday. 

Together we are inspiring others and have now exceeded $31,000 in support of our deserving students. But the day isn't over yet, and we are just over halfway to our milestone goal! There is still time to tell your AAP story with gifts, shares and tags @ucla, @uclagiving, @aapucla. 

During this time of giving thanks, we are very grateful for you and your support of UCLA's AAP programs and students. Because of your gift and sharing, we have nearly raised the $25,000 that will unlock a $5,000 challenge gift and put us over halfway to our goal. In anticipation of our continued fundraising efforts through next week on #GivingTuesday, please enjoy and pass along this video featuring AAP students sharing what the staff and programs have meant to each of them.

Thanks to your responsive and generous support, together we have already raised over $20,000 of our milestone $50,000 goal! To keep the incredible momentum going, this week features a special collaboration with UCLA's Blue & Gold Challenge, which highlights matching gifts for AAP from Mario Camara, JD '73 and Kawanna Brown, '96. In addition to the match, between now and November 21, for a gift of $10 or more you will receive a Joe Bruin face mask courtesy of UCLA's Blue & Gold Challenge. Consider sharing the generosity of our alumni, our exciting accomplishments to date and our milestone goal with your friends and family. A gift in any amount can have an immediate impact.
