Dear donors and friends,

YOU DID IT! Thanks to your generous donations, we met the original goal of $10,000 in our HornRaiser campaign in the FIRST week of the four-week drive.  We set our $10,000 goal at a level that was believed to be a reasonable challenge for a four-week campaign.  With your support and you commitment to the development of the activity book to provide long term funding for the UT in NYC program, we have exceeded the initial goal and are motivated to raise more of the necessary startup funds through a new HornRaiser goal of $25,000.  Additional gifts will allow us to address more of the upfront startup fees to get this project to the global marketplace.  Tell your friends, colleagues and family this book needs their support and there are still opportunities to fund this project that benefits University of Texas students.  Please join us in making this special book a reality and ensure that UT students are at the forefront of leadership in the ever-changing fashion industry.  Please continue spreading the word about the project and help us reach the new goal of $25,000.

Horns UP! 

Thanks to your support, The Iris Apfel Activity Book HornRaiser campaign has secured 72% of its initial goal of $10,000 in only four short days! With our first goal clearly in sight, it is time to use the momentum of the HornRaiser campaign to stretch our goal to $25,000. With your help, we can cover more of the book’s upfront expenses, which in turn, will ultimately support student scholarships and recurring expenses. Team UT in NYC is deeply grateful for the support of our alumni, friends, colleagues and families. Your donations will play an important part in ensuring that future UT students experience this exceptional world-class experiential learning opportunity. If you haven’t already, please share this campaign with your colleagues, friends and family. Every dollar makes an important difference to our students, also known to professor Apfel as “her chickadees.”

Thank you all again and get your Horns up!
