Penn's Way 2000:
Reestablishing the Campus Network
Dear Colleagues,
Over the next few weeks, Penn staff and faculty, through our Penn's Way 2000 Campaign, will once again have the opportunity to continue the tradition of supporting organizations throughout the Delaware Valley in their effort to promote and provide health, human, and educational services for our neighbors in greatest need. Your generosity, as demonstrated in years past, enable a wide variety oforganizations to continue to flourish and aid those less fortunate than ourselves.
This year, in response to the University Council resolution on Penn's Work Place Charitable Campaign, we have begun several initiatives to, over a period of years, reenergize Penn's workplace giving campaign. The Center for Responsible Funding and the United Way are being given equal status in the Campaign. In addition, we have formed a Penn's Way Advisory Committee with broad representation and are working to re-establish a network of trained volunteers throughout the schools and centers to reach out to colleagues.
One pledge form and a confidential return envelope has been sent to you from Penn's Way 2000, along with brochures from United Way and the Center for Responsible Funding. Please take a few moments to learn about the Penn's Way Campaign. We hope that you will also find at least one organization whose work is especially meaningful, and that you will make this group the target of your generosity. Should you need additional information regarding how to complete the form, please contact your campaign coordinator or call (215) 898-1733.
Thanks for your consideration and for everything that you do to make Penn, the City of Philadelphia and its surrounding counties places of opportunity and promise for us all.
Sincerely,
| Judith Rodin, President |

Welcome to Penn's Way 2000. This year's campaign will run from November 1 through December 31, 1999. With your help, we can meet this year's goal of $300,000! Each school and center has at least one designated campaign coordinator as the main point of contact. Some of the larger schools and multi-tiered center's coordinators are enlisting facilitators to ensure personal outreach to every employee. Please check with your coordinator about this, any other questions about the campaign, or to volunteer to be a facilitator. Weekly raffles will be held to show appreciation to participants in the campaign. The earlier you return your pledge card to your coordinator, their designated facilitator, or the Payroll Department, the greater your chances of success in the raffle. Please help spread the word about the importance of a successful Penn's Way. |
