Event Recap: BUILD’s 2025 #GivingTuesday Party Livestream

A Night of Impact & Entertainment!

Because of your generosity, passion, and belief in our students, this year’s How Will You BUILD? Giving Tuesday livestream was a huge success and we couldn’t be more grateful.

Watch the archived livestream.

Special Guest, Kristen Dunning, answers alumni and audience questions about her entrepreneurship journey

Highlights of The Night

Our hosts Rollins Stallworth III and DJ Whutever kept the energy high and it was such a highlight to parties pop in from across the country.

As usual, our alumni absolutely stole the show. Monique, Mohamed, & Marylin’s stories brought BUILD to life and their questions and convos with Gently Soap founder and Shark Tank winner Kristen Dunning were inspiring, thoughtful, and powerful.

Monique, Mohamed & Marylin share their stories.

Thanks to amazing generosity from across the country we made it to 95% of our goal with $4,760 raised. There’s still time to help us hit $5,000.

Through the end of the year, we will continue to run our How Will You BUILD? giving campaign – look out for our annual friendly competition between regions to see who can raise the most! New York is currently in the lead – but it’s still anyone’s game! Give now.

From student pitches to board member fundraisers, from small gifts to large ones, every single contribution built something bigger: a community of opportunity.
