Employee Giving Campaign soars past 50 percent of goal

The 2012 Employee Giving Campaign kicked off with a great event last week. A highlight of the event included a lively 2nd line parade led by Eric Heukeshoven, Jacquelyn Bonsgard ’15, Talib Khan ’14, Allen Mekash ’13, and Doug Leonard ’14. It would not have been a Mardi Gras celebration without crowning the lucky guest who had the baby in his king cake, Dave Ansell!

Anyone who was unable to attend should have received a packet of information outlining Roger Peckover’s remarks about investing in the future of our community, and the materials necessary to participate in this year’s campaign.

To date, 177 employees have committed to giving this fiscal year (June 1, 2011 – March 2, 2012), raising participation to 37 percent. The goal of the campaign is to achieve 65 percent participation. This week’s drawing winner is Dr. Jane Anderson. She wins a red SMU commemorative clock. Thank you to all who have given thus far!
