Faculty/staff campaign surpasses 2008-09 totals

Through the first seven months of the fiscal year, faculty and staff have made $247,000 in gifts and pledges to the 2009-10 Faculty/Staff Campaign, surpassing the 2008-09 fiscal year total by more than $13,000. As of late January, about 350 faculty and staff have participated in this year’s annual giving campaign. All gifts and pledges to the Faculty/Staff Campaign count as contributions to the $100 million Ever Elon Campaign to build the university’s endowment, increase annual and planned gifts, and preserve and build the campus.

Later this month, you will receive a letter from Faculty/Staff Campaign co-chairs Greg Zaiser and Nancy Harris outlining ways you can participate in the 2009-10 Faculty/Staff Campaign. From late February through spring break, Zaiser and Harris, along with the Office of University Advancement, will hold weekly prize drawings for faculty and staff who make gifts to Elon during this period.

If you’ve already made your gift to the 2009-10 Faculty/Staff Campaign, thank you! If you haven’t, it’s not too late to make a difference at Elon this year. Contact Maggie Byerly at mbyerly@elon.edu or x7459 for more information.
