Over $15,000 from our community: Thank you!

March 07, 2017

Our campaign for diversity scholarships has come to an end and we are so grateful to everyone who helped make this effort such a success. Thanks to your generous support, we will be able to fund three student scholarships for underrepresented minority students at the UC Berkeley School of Public Health. This is an additional student above and beyond the two we set out to help, which is amazing! We can’t wait to share their stories with you once we select these bright, motivated students.   Thank you for being a part of our public health community and for supporting our value of Strength through Diversity. You have helped to ensure the diversity of our public health workforce to the benefit of our communities and the world.

Five hours left to reach our stretch goal - we are so close!

February 28, 2017

Thank you everyone for your generous support of our campaign! Thanks to you we have blown past our goal of 100+ donors and are very close to our $16,000 target for an additional student scholarship. We have less than $600 to raise in the next 5 hours. Please continue to share our campaign up to the final minutes if you are able, because it could really make a difference!

Whatever happens next, we are so proud to have achieved, with your help, our goal of funding two scholarships for underrespresented minority students attending the UC Berkeley School of Public Health. This really shows our community's broad support for educating a diverse public health workforce and we could not be more grateful.

 

Final four days to support diversity at SPH

February 24, 2017

We are in the final days of our crowdfunding campaign and we need your urgent support. We have already met our goal of funding two scholarships and we are now hoping to reach 100+ donors and raise $16,000 in order to fund an additional scholarship. With your help we can do it! Thank you to everyone who has supported this campaign already and please keep sharing in order to help us help another bright, enthusiastic student dedicated to improving the health of our diverse communities.

We made it! A new goal and another scholarship

February 06, 2017

We are thrilled to share the news that we reached our fundraising goal of $10,000 less than a week into our campaign! We are overwhelmed and so grateful for the generous support you’ve given. Because of you, we are able to create a new goal of $16,000. With this extra help, we will be able to finance an additional student scholarship in support of diversity in public health.

Thank you so much for your support and please continue to share our campaign and help us help another bright, enthusiastic student dedicated to improving the health of our diverse communities.
