Subject: Give through the Campus Charitable Fund Drive
Dear Colleagues,
I’m excited to be this year’s section leader for the U of I Campus Charitable Fund Drive (CCFD), our workplace giving campaign, because it is one of the easiest and most effective ways for you to support your favorite causes. The 2017 campaign kicks off on Monday, September 18 and concludes on Friday, November 10.
Please join me in considering a gift to any of the more than 700 designated charities to whom you can contribute. It’s easy to give via payroll deduction. Together, we can make an incredible impact.
Consider the impact a donation makes and how far your dollars go:
- $2 per pay period can plant 50 trees to help reduce carbon dioxide in our atmosphere.
- $10 per pay period provides gold, silver and bronze medals to Special Olympics athletes.
- Your $100 donation will fund research toward a cure for cancer.
Charities appreciate the U of I CCFD because it saves them time and money so more dollars go to services. There’s something for everybody in the CCFD, and it’s one of the best ways to give to the nonprofits you care about. Visit the CCFDwebsiteto find a cause you’re passionate about and give today! Your giving makes a difference.
Thank you,
Your name here
