Within the framework of this event, more than 5,000 donations have been collected so far, totaling 229 thousand US dollars. The goal is to raise 260 thousand dollars.
The largest donation was made by William Ackman, who contributed 18 thousand dollars. This tragic incident occurred on December 14 during an exam at the university's engineering faculty.
