After mounting an emergency fundraising campaign, the American Boychoir School (ABS) has exceeded its goal of $350,000 to keep the financially ailing institution open until the end of the current term. The school has raised $359,096, according to an email sent to donors and school supporters. As of Tuesday, ABS had received $269,021 in gifts and $90,075 in pledges.

“The $30,000 challenge grant succeeded in closing the final gap, so ABS will have the necessary resources to complete this school year,” the email reads. “Thank you for your part in making these events a reality,” it continues after listing a series of activities this coming weekend, including a screening of the film Boychoir at the Princeton Garden Theatre on Friday, a gala concert and auction on Saturday at the school in Plainsboro, and the annual graduation ceremony on Sunday.

The school filed for bankruptcy last month. The academic year was curtailed from the normal, mid-June ending to this Sunday.

Founded in Columbus, Ohio in 1937 and moved to Princeton in 1950, the school for boys in grades four to eight was located on Lambert Drive until relocating to Plainsboro in 2013. With an international reputation, the school’s choirs have performed with the Boston Symphony Orchestra, the Philadelphia Orchestra, and the New York Philharmonic, among others. The school was the inspiration for the film Boychoir starting Dustin Hoffman, Debra Winger and Kathy Bates. The Friday screening of the film is a fundraiser for the school.

It is unclear how the school will proceed in its efforts to stay in business after this term ends. “As we proceed, our singular focus will turn toward determining what will come next for the American Boychoir School. Opportunities for the institution abound, although considerable funds will be needed to build a plan going forward,” the email from Rob D’Avanzo, chairman of the Board of Trustees, reads. “We thank you again for your generosity through this phase of the campaign, and we hope that we can count on your help in keeping this exceptional mission a reality.”
