Workplace Giving Campaign's Deadline Extended
There's still time to help community organizations that serve the Delaware Valley through the Bryn Mawr Combined Workplace Giving Campaign, say campaign organizers, who have extended the deadline until Friday, Dec. 7.
So far, the campaign has collected $14,243 in pledges toward its $20,000 goal, says campaign committee representative Jerry Berenson.
The campaign, which asks members of the faculty and staff to invest in Philadelphia-area community organizations, began in late October.
It offers members of the Bryn Mawr faculty and staff the chance to give through a convenient payroll deduction that spreads the donation out over the 2007 calendar year. To participate, download and complete this donor form and return it to Berenson via campus mail.
The Giving Turkey pictured above represents the campaign's progress. The closer the campaign gets to its goal, the more colorful the turkey will become.
Donors may give to one of five umbrella fundraising organizations, or they may earmark their donations for specific agencies within some of the organizations. This year's partners:
- AIDS Fund
- Bread & Roses Community Fund
- The Environmental Fund for Pennsylvania
- United Way of Southeastern Pennsylvania
- Womens Way
More information about the partner organizations, including the agencies funded by each one, is available in a fact sheet that was distributed through campus mail (or download a PDF version here). Packets of information will be available in Benham Gateway, the Campus Center, Canaday Library, the Graduate School of Social Work and Social Research, Human Resources, Ward and the cafeterias of Erdman, Haffner and Rhoads.
All donors, regardless of the size of their gift, are eligible to be entered into a drawing for four $25 gift certificates from Macy's. The College will also be giving away an additional four $25 gift certificates for first-time givers.
