Happy Campers: HBS Student Auction Helps Local Kids
At a "Christmas in July" auction held last summer, the January Cohort of the Class of 2001 raised just over $15,000 to benefit the Cambridge Camping Association (CCA), a 106-year-old organization dedicated to helping low-income, minority, and at-risk children to attend summer camp programs. At the CCA's annual board meeting in October, HBS students presented the group with the event's proceeds, the largest single donation the CCA received last year. The money will be used to fund scholarships to support ten campers. Auction items included a weekend getaway at a ranch, a pair of Muhammad Ali's boxing gloves, and a private serenade.
The auction was designed to bring members of the cohort together to make a contribution to the local community. "We're hoping to stay in touch with the kids even after we graduate," said Andrew Lazzaro (HBS '01) , a co-organizer of the auction. His counterpart, Amelia Alberghini (HBS '01) , added, "It was great fun to be a part of something we can all share in."
