What should you know about #30for30?

WHAT IS 30 FOR 30? 30 for 30 is a crowdfunding initiative being led by two GSU young alumni. Kyle Stapleton and Terrance Rogers want to show how small, collective acts of generosity can transform lives and make an impact.  In honor of their 30th birthdays, they've teamed up to go 30 for 30 and raise $30,000 to establish a scholarship for first-generation students at Georgia State. So far, the project has raised over $19,000 which is 63% of its goal. There are 11 days left so we need your help to go 30 for 30! Give now to support first-generation students at GSU! Terrance Rogers (Class of 2010) & Kyle Stapleton (Classes of 2009 and 2012) Whether you can give $30 or $300, all of us together can contribute to help support first-generation students for years to come.  Please visit our GSU crowdfunding page to learn more and make your gift today!
