We Hit the Goal! $3,295 Raised. Thank you!

June 12, 2016

We did it! On behalf of all current, former and future participants of Stockton University's Alternative Spring Break program, I want to personally thank you for your kindness. I am humbled and honored by the level of generous support you and 45 others showed during our campaign. Together we raised $3,295 for the program. What kind of impact can we do with those funds? 

  • 988 Meals for Student Participants
  • 131 Gallons of Paint to Turn a House into a Home
  • 32 Windows to Bring in the Light
  • 11 Students Sponsored 

This kind of tangible impact is just the beginning. Alternative Spring Break is a transformative experience for any student who is able to participate.  Having attended the first three trips, remaining involved and now serving as an adviser, I can personally attest to the life-changing memories from this program. I was able to build homes for families in need of decent, affordable housing. I learned life skills that now help me daily as a home-owner. Finally, I strengthened my relationships with many friends during the program, one of whom I am now married to! I am just 1 of the 100s of examples of ways ASB makes a positive impact. 

Thank you again for your support.  Your gift allows us to grow and maintain this important program.  I hope you will continue to remain informed about, involved with and invested in Alternative Spring Break. As a supporter to this campaign, you are a donor to Stockton University and a friend of the program.  I am proud to be in this community with you.

Thank you!

37 Hours to Go. 92% to goal!

I am proud to announce that with just under 37 hours to go in our campaign, we have raised more than $1,800 and are 92% to our goal.  We hope to meet, and EXCEED, our goal by midnight tomorrow (June 9). For every $300 over our $2,000 goal, another student will be sponsored.  Thank you for helping us support the Alternative Spring Break Program at Stockton University.  Here are a few impressive statistics:

  • A House into a Home Matching Challenge was completed which will add $1,000 to our total at the end of the campaign
  • Every student member of the founding trip in 2006 donated to the campaign (pictured from the trip to WV in 2006)
  • As of this update, 33 people have donated $1,840, an average gift size of $55

Again, we are NOT done yet.  Please share the page and encourage others to donate.  We look forward to meeting and exceeding our goals.  I am anxious to send you all the final update after the campaign is completed.  On behalf of all current and former participants of the ASB program...THANK YOU!
