Full Description
October 3, 2011
Dear Colleagues and Friends:
Have you ever delivered a hot meal to a homebound senior? Have you ever given a group of children a safe place to play away from the street or helped a disabled adult realize their potential to become an active member of their community? Have you ever provided a homeless family with a warm and safe place to sleep? If you have given to the CVC, the answer is yes.
Each year, the Combined Virginia Campaign gives us the opportunity to make a difference in our communities. Our goal this year is to have at least 319 members of the William & Mary family contribute to CVC. We chose this number to commemorate 319 years of William & Mary.
This year the William & Mary Community has a unique opportunity to make a difference right in our own backyard. William & Mary is partnering with Habitat for Humanity (#3068) and Housing Partnerships (#4013) to build a Habitat house in close proximity to campus. We are especially asking those of you who have never contributed to CVC to consider joining the William & Mary Community in this worthwhile service project. Any donations from William & Mary made to these organizations through CVC will go toward the William & Mary House. There are many charities that need your help and the Habitat project is one way the W&M community can unite for the greater good. Please visit "Many Hands One Home" for more information.
Every dollar counts and there is no easier way to be a positive force for change than to contribute through CVC. You can view the list of participating charities and make a gift by check or through payroll deduction. It’s that easy.
Please join us at W&M Harvesting Good(s), our annual CVC Kickoff event on October 13, 11 am-1 pm in the Wren Courtyard. Bring a friend and enjoy hot dogs, cider and pumpkin cookies. Canned donations will be collected for FISH and monetary donations and pledges to CVC may be contributed on site.
Thank you in advance and we hope that the W&M community will once again come together to serve the greater good. Please give from the heart.
