Winfrey shocks fundraisers with $1M donation for students

Oprah Winfrey shocked attendees at a North Carolina fundraiser by announcing a donation of more than $1 million toward the United Negro College Fund.

The Charlotte Observer reports that former talk-show host and OWN television network chief made the surprise announcement Saturday while speaking at Charlotte's 17th annual Maya Angelou Women Who Lead Luncheon. United Negro College Fund officials were hoping the luncheon would help raise $500,000 for deserving area students to attend historically black colleges.

At the time of Winfrey's address, a running tally at the event showed that about $1.15 million had been raised. That's when Winfrey said she was going to match the total, prompting a standing ovation from the stunned audience.

Someone step up

Nice one God bless u good mama

WOW YOU GO OPRAH... THIS IS A 0.03125% donation

Is she donating the same to the white college fund or is she just plain old racist

Philanthropy is a valuable philosophy for the mind of success when the festival of ideas shouldn't be wasted.

Thats racist...

Hey, they said the n word.

Send the money to CheyneyUniv auntie Oprah they need it badly and to think they are the 1st Historically Black College and doing the worst out of all of them

Meaning oprah

This is racist actually!!!! Now that I think about it

You know what would make a great Oprah surprise? Lowering killing rate in Chicago. Giving money away for her is easy.

What about the unitedhonkyfund

If a white billionaire gives millions to a white college fund (oh wait, there are none), and had fellowships for white candidates, and built schools in Sweden for white girls, would people think he / she was a racist?

Racist

Good. Where is she going to take all this money?😂

🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗

She’s got it; why not use it for good! I think she can give even more! Wouldn’t that be nice! 🤑💰💵

ABC News is a dying media!

U cant buy love Snake

And they fought so hard for intergration.

I’m betting a low return on that investment

Oprah endorsed a man that was raping and impregnating young girls, selling their babies, and then murdering them after 9-10 years. Here's her 'faith healer' John of God BabyFarm

That's racist cause she isn't helping no white kids

🐍

Are my eyes deceiving me, or did you use the gamer word?

WE WANT A SPECIAL ABOUT THIS OPRAH....

WOW...I DON'T LIKE HER REAL FACE.....SNAKE=OPRAH 🤨

Well that's going to bankrupt her

Blessing from Heaven

I DON'T BELIEVE IN LIARS=OPRAH 🙄🤑🤑🤑🤑🤑🤑🤑

You get a scholarship! And you get a scholarship! And you get a scholarship!!

SHE LOVES THE MONEY....
