Supports United Way, Sets New Goal ‘The Caring Continues’ Campaign Kicks Off
Oct. 12 Jefferson’s 1999 United Way Campaign kicks off with a new goal, a new location and a presentation of community service projects Jeffersonians participated in during our Day of Caring. Top that with representatives from United Way agencies who will staff information booths, and a campaigners’ special door prize, and this year’s kickoff and campaign are bound to be winning ones, says 1999 cabinet chair Kevin J. Donahue, Director, Accounting and Systems for Physical Resources. |
Consider Jefferson
University Hospital for a Specific Care Donation Patient care is one of Thomas Jefferson University Hospital’s principal missions. You can watch your United Way dollars work for our patients if you designate your contribution to the hospital. Just insert the amount of your gift on your pledge form, as well as Jefferson’s name and code number - 00116. Thank you. |
| University President Paul C.
Brucker, MD, and Thomas Jefferson University Hospital President and CEO Thomas J. Lewis,
both have emphasized the importance of encouraging more Jeffersonians to donate to United
Way. If you’ve never supported United Way before, please join your colleagues in
contributing toward Jefferson’s goal of $230,000. You can make a big difference in
the lives of people who are experiencing difficult times. “With just one
contribution you can reach out to more than one million people through United Way’s
member agencies or other qualified health and human service organizations in our
area,” says Mr. Donahue who was appointed to chair the campaign by Dr. Brucker. That’s when the United Way cabinet hosts campaigners for breakfast from 8 to 9:30 a.m. This year the breakfast will be in the hospital’s East Atrium Cafeteria. Senior administrators will drop in during the kickoff to wish the campaigners well. There will also be a continuous showing of the 1999 United Way film, “Get Together,” and photo displays of Jefferson’s Day of Caring activities at various sites throughout the community. United Way agency representatives will be on hand to staff booths, to answer questions and supply information about their activities. Community Carey will also add to the event’s festivities. At the kick-off, campaigners can pick up their 1999 United Way mugs and their packet of campaign materials or can arrange for colleagues to do this for them. Campaign materials will be available in the East Atrium Conference Room until 10 a.m. Campaigners will also receive their ticket for the door prize drawing. The campaign ends on Friday, November 5, giving Jeffersonians three weeks to reach our $230,000 goal. Throughout the campaign, campaigners will receive free coffee, tea or hot chocolate when they present their United Way mugs at the Atrium or Atrium food carts in building lobbies. When your department’s campaigner asks about your contribution, why not arrange to make it through payroll deduction? For your convenience, you may also pay your United Way pledge using Visa or MasterCard. Help your campaigner and yourself be eligible for exciting prizes and drawings by getting your contribution in early. Three Ways to Help the United Way • Community Care gifts support United Way partner and member
organizations that nurture children and youth, promote life-long health and independence,
and build skills for self-sufficiency as well as community supports for families If you have any questions about the United Way drive or the new ways to help, ask your campaigner or call the United Way Hotline at 5-5566.
