Alumni Help Break
Records During #QUnited MORE THAN 1,300 DONORS PROVIDE FUNDING FOR ANNUAL DAY OF GIVING
On March 16, Queens celebrated its eighth #QUnited giving day. Alumni, parents, students, friends and community members came together to support nine different student- facing funds during this 24-hour day of giving. The 2022 #QUnited goal of 1,300 donors was exceeded with a total of 1,316 donors who gave a record-breaking $371,423 to causes that they were passionate about at Queens. More than 70% of #QUnited donors were Queens alumni,
with the Class of 1967 coming in first place for having the highest participation for the fifth year in a row! Thank you to everyone who helped us make this important
day of giving back to Queens and supporting our students a success.
