Young Patrons Hit Web to Tap Yalies, Wall St. Pals for Charity

June 23, 2009, Bloomberg — When young Yale graduates need to hit up other alumni for charity, they tap the Old Boy and Girl Internetwork.

Eugene Bang, a credit trader, used Facebook to send invitations for his charity’s event to more than 300 friends in finance, law and media. Emily Bell and Yale Law grad Nusrat Choudhury, the organization’s co-directors, got the word out to 1,000 people by posting it on the group’s Facebook page and electronic mailing lists for Yale and Princeton.
