“Our non-profit partners have persevered throughout the pandemic in their mission to provide equal access to a quality education for all children. We at Citi are humbled by their dedication and heartened by the response to the campaign, which serves as a testament to the impact of bringing people together to tackle these critical challenges.” – Itay Tuchman, Global Head of FX.

- Raised over $47 million
- Supported 606k + youth
