Foundation Breaks Fundraising Goal of $750,000 to Help Service Black and Latinx Students Through its Historic Academic Enrichment and Placement Programs

NEW YORK, Oct. 31, 2022 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Oliver Scholars hosted its Annual Gala on Tuesday, October 25th at the Lighthouse in New York City, celebrating its service to Black and Latinx students through its historic academic enrichment and placement programs. For nearly four decades, the organization has been dedicated to helping students realize their full potential and preparing them to achieve educational success through a multifaceted approach of assistance. Students hail from historically under-represented New York City communities and are fast tracked for success at top independent schools and prestigious colleges. The organization provides crucial support for its Scholars so they may succeed and ultimately give back to the city, the nation, and the world.

The event was hosted by Comedian Chuck Nice and the musical entertainment was provided by DJ Stretch Armstrong. CEO Danielle R. Moss Cox expressed her gratitude for patrons and supporters regarding their devotion to the organization's work with its young scholars.

"Our honorees are the living embodiment of a mission that is intentionally focused on supporting and developing generations of Black and Latinx leaders whose impact on New York City and the world can be seen in government, industry, the arts, social service, and education..."
