Students Assist Needy Family
A Boston family threatened with homelessness got a financial lift from more than seventy HBS students just before Thanksgiving. In response to an e-mail campaign launched by roommates Grace Simmons and Jennifer Kelm (both HBS ’10), their classmates used the charity site SmallCanBeBig.org to raise $1,550 for the family in less than 48 hours. “It was a truly rewarding and meaningful experience for both of us,” said Simmons.
SmallCanBeBig.org, created by Boathouse Group, a Boston communications firm led by president John Connors (PMD 71, 1996), uses the Internet to harness the power of small donations on behalf of selected families in dire need. Commenting on the students’ effort, Connors said, “It was a great statement about the School and the students.”
