Due to the generosity of more than 800 individual donors, Tigers far and wide were able to support USN’s Annual Fund during this year's Tiger Give Back Challenge. USN appreciates each of you.
By Justin Gung, Assistant Director of Annual Giving
On Tuesday, February 27, USN celebrated the annual Tiger Give Back Challenge with a record-breaking day that saw Tigers from across the globe donate to the school's Annual Fund, which accounts for 6% of the operating budget.
With a total of 872 individual donors, we were able to raise $266,655 for the annual fund, which enhances the daily experience of students and teachers with need-based financial assistance, academic programs, sports equipment, arts supplies, facilities improvements, and much more.
Thank you to everyone who invested in the exceptional education of our Tigers.
