Senior class challenges employees on giving campaign

A challenge has been issued.

This year’s 2013 senior class is challenging university employees to meet (or beat) the fundraising goal of 60 percent participation.

This year’s senior class is raising funds for a special campus landscaping project. Senior class gift co-chairs Shannon Nelson and Brian Thomas have also set a 60 percent participation goal for their classmates.

It’s a friendly competition between employees and students — encouraging both to meet their participation goals.

Although the employee campaign has a huge lead (with 50 percent participation), the students are determined to have a come-from-behind win!

If you haven’t made a gift, now is the time.

In the faculty/staff campaign, currently a total of $70,284 (with 50 percent participation) has been raised. Just 40 more people are needed to step up and say, “I believe in Saint Mary’s!” Will you be one of the next people to make a difference?

Thank you to all those who have already made a gift. Your gift is helping make a difference to students and to the SMU community.

Every gift — regardless of size — makes a difference to our students. Please think about what is important to you and designate your gift to an area you especially care about.

Make a gift online at www.smumn.edu/employeegiftform or return your employee giving packet to the Development Office at Box. 21. Call Andrea Pengra at Ext. 1791 for more information.
