AAJA officially launched its 2-year, $2M Endowment Campaign on November 17th with a gala event honoring pioneers in journalism at the Waldorf=Astoria in New York City. Initial pledges and contributions to the Endowment have reached $523,000. In addition, more than $50,000 was raised from "live pledges" and net proceeds from the event. One AAJA member after another stood up to pledge to the Endowment, citing how their careers have benefited as a result of the many AAJA programs and services over the years.
