Manuel Claros, who raised $1256, will receive a 4-week long paid internship with the Global Network. The team from GWU Medical School, who raised $3892.81, will receive a matching donation in their honor from actress and Global Network Ambassador Alyssa Milano, doubling their impact to $7785.62.

Other top fundraisers included a student group from the London School of Hygiene and London School of Economics who raised $2,358, a group at Harvard University who raised $2,196, and a group at California Northstate College of Pharmacy who raised $992.50. Read the full press release here.
