How It Works
The Peter Cooper Block Party 2016, hosted by the Cooper Union Alumni Association, is taking place in coordination with an Alumni Awards Ceremony dinner and Alumni Affairs Reunion Weekend...it will take all-hands-on-deck to bring the Cooper community together for these events!
These events are funded in part by existing CUAA funds, The Cooper Union, the CUAA Council, and the broader community.
The CUAA is currently processing funds through fiscal sponsor Fractured Atlas as it moves towards 501c3 status. Please email petercooperblockparty@gmail.com if you have any questions about how to donate.
