We are collecting money to: (1) donate to gayforgood https://gayforgood.org/ and (2) purchase 'Unity in Diversity' pins to hand out to BU students and staff. We set the gofundme goal at $3,600, which would enable us to buy 1,000 pins and also donate $1,000 to gayforgood. If our goal is exceeded, excess funds will be donated to gayforgood and/or organizations that support the underserved in our local community.

Through this fundraiser, the BU community showcases our founding principles: "that higher education should be accessible to all and that research, scholarship, artistic creation, and professional practice should be conducted in the service of the wider community—local and international. These principles endure in the University’s insistence on the value of diversity, in its tradition and standards of excellence, and in its dynamic engagement with the City of Boston and the world." -from Boston University Mission Statement
