When France sent the Statue of Liberty (SOL) to the US, it still needed a pedestal to stand on. This pedestal would have cost around $250,000 so a fundraising committee was set up whilst the SOL sat in storage. Funds were not raised well and the committee threatened to send the SOL back to France. Pulitzer sponsored small fundraising events such as boxing matches and art shows. He also wrote multiple editorials about the plight of the SOL. He raised around $102,000 and sent it to the committee and slowly the goal of $250000 was met due to Pulitzers persuasion.
