Newark Mayor Cory Booker said he has raised $40 million to help match a $100 million donation from Mark Zuckerberg, Facebook Inc.’s founder, to schools in New Jersey’s largest city.
“I am so grateful that so many are stepping forward after Mark Zuckerberg’s announcement to answer our call to action and share our commitment in the limitless potential of Newark’s students,” Booker said today in an e-mailed statement.
