The MRU Blue and Gold Fundraising Gala was a memorable night under the stars on campus where we celebrated our 26th Year Anniversary and relaunch of our Alumni Association. Through various efforts, over $20,000 were collected through fundraising to benefit the A.R.I.S.E. Scholarship. This scholarship was created to provide tuition cost assistance for students at a crossroads in their lives undergoing economic hardship. This community effort would not have been possible without the generous donations of our top supporter Banesco, USA and the contributions from so many others. With this collective support we will ARISE to the situation to help those who need it most; those who have overcome life’s challenges against all odds!
