On Thursday, March 27, UMW was honored with both a Shining Star Award (for exceeding the previous year’s total dollars raised) and a Gold Award (for 35% participation and $125 average gift) at the Commonwealth of Virginia Campaign 2013 awards luncheon, held in Richmond. A successful campaign depends on your pledges and direct giving. I want to express my thanks to you for your continued participation in the CVC and for your donations to the various organizations that you support through direct giving.
In this regard I call your attention to the UMW Relay for Life, which benefits the American Cancer Society and provides an excellent opportunity for the UMW community to come together in the fight against cancer. Your donations will help UMW’s Relay for Life reach their fundraising goal of $54,000, and will count toward UMW’s 2014 CVC effort next fall.
UMW Relay for Life is next weekend, April 5-6, 6 p.m. to 7 a.m. Come out and support the teams, walk a lap or two, or make a donation. Information about the event can be found here.
Thank you,
Richard V. Hurley
President
