Employee Giving Campaign kicking off March 18

It’s time to celebrate another year of giving and to celebrate Saint Mary’s employees. The Employee Giving Campaign will kick off with a little fellowship and fun and a little Spirit of the Irish.

Join the St. Patty’s Party Kick-off Monday, March 18, 3:30 to 4:30 p.m. in the Common Room. Two sessions are available. Please come to the session that fits your schedule the best.

Session I — Social time, 3:30 p.m.; presentation, 3:50 p.m.

Session II — Social time, 4 p.m.; presentation, 4:15 p.m.

Light refreshments will be provided. New this year: watch your inbox for fun weekly trivia about Saint Mary’s. Get extra entries into the grand prize drawing for playing trivia, attending the kick-off and making a gift. Prizes include an extra day off, gala tickets, an autographed Percy Harvin photo, and a wine basket, just to name a few.

When you make a gift to the Saint Mary’s Fund, you join other alumni, parents, friends, students, faculty and staff who support virtually everything that happens on our campuses. Annual fund gifts have an immediate impact for our learners.

Last year through your efforts we had 274 of our colleagues raise $74,700. One of the most notable accomplishments was increasing payroll deduction enrollment by 84 percent. This is a true testament to the dedication of our faculty and staff.
