Faculty Staff Rise Campaign

Faculty-Staff Giving Extended to Nov. 22

November 15, 2013

1aStaff Christmas150no2The Faculty-Staff Giving Committee is extending the campaign through Friday, November 22, and asks for your help and participation in setting a new record for faculty and staff giving. In this final week they are aiming for a new five-day giving record by asking an additional 80 employees to participate. The two donors who equal the record and break the record will each receive a Bob Appetit cake, perfect for the holidays.

On November 22, there will also be two sets of random drawings, with winners announced on Monday November 25. In the first, two donors making a gift between November 13 and 22 will be eligible for a Fred Meyer gift card; in the second, every donor to the campaign will be included in a drawing for one of six gifts, including:$25 Trader Joe’s gift cards, New Seasons gift cards, and a lovely flowering plant.

Last week’s random drawing recipients were Maribeth McGowan, education, and Leland Hansen from physical plant, who each received two bottles of wine. A third name was also drawn: congratulations to Carolyn Connolly, museum coordinator, who receives a bottle of Prosecco Superiore! For more information contact Diane Dickey, development, at 8130 or dickey@up.edu.

New Record for Faculty/Staff Rise Campaign

October 18, 2013

12 Staff Christmas-9567-300 DPI copyDiane Dickey would like to thank the 162 faculty and staff members who gave during the first nine days of the Faculty-Staff campaign.  That’s nearly twice the donors from the same period last year, not to mention a lot of folks who will be enjoying coffee, tea, or specialty drinks courtesy of Bon Appetit.

The goal this year is 70 percent participation; for a total of 492 participants. That means we need to add 330 more faculty and staff donors between now and November 18.  Remember:  the committee is asking for your participation, and a gift in any amount from $1 to $1,000 (or more, if you just won the lottery) counts toward that goal. Donors are free to give to the Recreation and Wellness Center or whatever is of the most interest to you on campus, whether it’s general giving to the  UP Fund, financial aid, campus ministry, performing and fine arts, athletics, or a favorite school or CAS department.

So far, no department has reached 100 percent, although a couple of the smaller departments are getting close. In the larger departments, Physical Plant leads the pack with 21 donors to date; Athletics is close behind with 17 donors; and CAS and the School of Education are leading the schools with 19 and 13 donors apiece. Word has it that the physical plant, which topped the charts last year with 78 percent participation, is thinking about issuing a challenge to other campus offices.  They aren’t kidding, so keep an eye on your inbox. For more information contact Diane Dickey, development, at 8130 or dickey@up.edu.
