January 16, 2019 – Three of Georgetown’s famous alumni comedians – Jim Gaffigan (B’88), Mike Birbiglia (C’00) and John Mulaney (C’04) – raised $1 million to support the university’s first-generation college students at a sold-out New York City fundraiser on Jan. 14.

The alumni performed for students, alumni and fans during Stand Up for Georgetown at the Brooklyn Academy of Music.

The proceeds from the show will benefit the Georgetown Scholars Program (GSP), which provides resources and support for students from all socioeconomic backgrounds, including first-generation college students and students from underresourced high schools.
