The Aaronson Challenge - Alumni Set New Record

Baruchians really step up to the plate when tasked with a challenge. More than a year ago, 17 Lex Society member Allen G. Aaronson (’48) invited the alumni community to set a new record for the number of individuals supporting The Baruch College Fund (BCF). In return he promised to make a donation of $200,000. The challenge goal was 6,065 individual donors, and Baruch alumni not only met that goal but exceeded it, bringing the total number to 6,287. Said Aaronson: “I am extremely proud of the Baruch community, not only for meeting my challenge but for exceeding it by more than 200 donors. It’s one reason I remain so committed to this wonderful institution.” Aaronson added, “If you haven’t already done so, it’s not too late for you to add your ‘voice’ with a contribution. Thank you!”
