The annual One Acre Fund (OAF) gala was held last Thursday evening, and it was a fantastic success!

A few significant highlights:

  1. Andrew Youn, the OAF president, provided an update describing that the OAF is now supporting 4 million farm families with the goal of serving 5 million families by 2025, and 10 million families by 2030!

  2. Matt Forti, the OAF managing director interviewed our Kellogg Dean, Francesca Cornelli. She provided a great summary of the work that Kellogg students and alumni are doing to make a significant difference in the world, both in the public and private sectors.
  3. Last but certainly not least, the contributions from anonymous donors and a fun “paddle raise” enabled the OAF to receive donations for the night in excess of $1 million!!!

 

Upward and onward!!!👍🤣
