黑料吃瓜网 faculty, staff, retirees, students and alumni came together this fall to support their favorite nonprofits through the 黑料吃瓜网 Combined Fund Drive.
Together, we contributed $1,975,515 to a variety of organizations, which will make a significant impact on the lives of many, both locally and nationally.
鈥淭hrough payroll deduction, personal donations and event participation, our employees have continued to go above and beyond in serving our state and world,鈥� said Kerri Fuller, development officer and campaign manager for the 黑料吃瓜网 Combined Fund Drive. 鈥淚t鈥檚 amazing to see the 黑料吃瓜网鈥檚 generous contributions toward helping so many.鈥�
The 黑料吃瓜网 Combined Fund Drive collaborates with a featured charity, co-hosting special events and working to boost the organization鈥檚 fundraising efforts. This year鈥檚 charity was聽, which works to save the lives of those diagnosed with life-threatening blood cancers. The 黑料吃瓜网CFD and Be The Match partnered to raise money to help add donors to the registry, assist patients with uninsured transplant costs and fund groundbreaking research.
鈥淲e鈥檙e proud to partner with Be The Match this year knowing that our donations help save lives,鈥� said Fuller. 鈥淭hrough the 黑料吃瓜网 community鈥檚 generous support, the registry will grow and more people diagnosed with blood cancers may find a match.鈥�
The 黑料吃瓜网CFD is part of a statewide fundraising campaign that dates back to 1984. The 黑料吃瓜网 community has contributed more than $50 million for nonprofits, 黑料吃瓜网 scholarships and 黑料吃瓜网 programs through the campaign.
