Dear Members of the UMBC Community,
As co-chairs of the 2017 Maryland Charity Campaign, we wanted to take this time to share with the campus the amazing results of our campaign. With your help, we were able to raise more than $237,000 toward the campaign from over 900 pledges across campus, surpassing our ambitious goal of 50% participation—way to go!
We are moved by this demonstration of caring and commitment by the UMBC community. Our campus is one of the most generous in the state, and our generosity speaks volumes about who we are and our values. Despite our size relative to many of the larger departments across the state, the funds raised by our mid-sized institution accounted for nearly 8% of the total amount of $2.98M raised for the 2017 Maryland Charity Campaign. This truly is a remarkable achievement and serves as a testament to our culture of caring for others less fortunate than ourselves.
This year, we have once again won the campaign's Participation Award for the percentage of UMBC community members who contributed to MCC. We also received the 2017 Schaefer Cares Award, which acknowledges the state department with the most improved participation rate over the prior year's campaign results.
Every year, hundreds of UMBC colleagues make a difference with their charitable giving through this campaign. There are few illustrations of our community's generosity and commitment more powerful than our collective participation in the Maryland Charity Campaign.
Thank you for supporting the many charities through this important campaign.
