The seventh annual Big Give garnered big results. Held on April 2 and 3, this year’s donations brought in $421,596 from 1,134 donors, the largest dollar outcome to date. Over the event’s seven-year history, the Big Give has raised more than $2 million.

The fundraising campaign lasts 1,955 minutes (about 33 hours) in commemoration of the institution’s founding in 1955, bringing together the New York Tech community to help support the student experience at campuses in Long Island, New York City, Jonesboro, and Vancouver.

“This year, we experienced an overwhelming outpouring of support from alumni, faculty, staff, students, parents, and friends, helping us raise over $421,000 for our students and programs,” says Patrick Minson, Ed.D., vice president for development, alumni relations, and external affairs. “The generosity we’ve witnessed is truly inspiring, and I am deeply grateful to everyone who made this achievement possible.”
