- Penn's Way 2001:
- Continuing Penn's Spirit of Caring and Sharing
- Continuing Penn's Spirit of Caring and Sharing
Dear Colleagues,
We would like to thank those who participated in Penn's Way 2000. Last year's workplace charitable campaign raised close to $400,000 for our community's many charitable organizations! You should be proud of this incredible accomplishment and we look forward to continuing this success for Penn's Way 2001.
We know that within Penn's faculty and staff lies an abundance of generosity and a commitment to serve others. Many of you take time from busy schedules to perform acts of kindness--as teacher, mentors, and caregivers --throughout the region. We ask Penn's Way supporters to continue their participation and help us gain new participants so that we can collectively demonstrate the goodness within the Penn community.
Many of the procedures for this year are similar to those used in last year's campaign. As in past campaigns, Penn's Way 2001 includes both the United Way of Southeastern Pennsylvania (UWSEPA) and the Center for Responsible Funding (CRF) and their respective member charities. The campaign will again include weekly raffles and a grand prize drawing to demonstrate our appreciation to Penn's Way participants. Each school and center has designated coordinators to assist us in the campaign. We ask you to review the materials to learn more about these aspects of the campaign. Watch for updates on the Campaign in the Almanac, which will contain timely news on the week's raffle prizes, winners, and highlights on our progress towards this year's goal of raising $350,000.
Please join in Penn's spirit of caring and sharing by participating in Penn's Way 2001. Many thanks for your consideration and for all that you do to make Philadelphia and its region a better place for everyone.
Sincerely,
| --Judith Rodin, President | --David Hackney, Penn's Way Co-Chair, Faculty Senate Chair-Elect | --Carol R. Scheman, Penn's Way Co-Chair, Vice President for Government, Community and Public Affairs |
Rules and Restrictions:The Penn's Way Campaign will run from November 3 to December 31, 2000. To show our appreciation to those that participate in the campaign, Penn's Way 2001 will include weekly raffles during the campaign. In addition, a Grand Prize Drawing will be held at the conclusion of the campaign period. To qualify for raffles, Penn employees must turn in a sealed, completed confidential Penn's Way envelope to their school/center's coordinator or facilitator or directly to the Payroll Department. You must fill out both the name and school/center sections on the outside of the envelope. For your reference, a list of coordinators is included in your campaign materials. Each week in Almanac, we will publish the available prizes for the upcoming week and highlight the week's winners. Drawings are made each Monday based on envelopes turned in by the close of business the preceding Friday. You may only win once in the weekly raffles. However, all participants, including weekly winners, will be included in the Grand Prize Drawing at the end of the campaign. For a list of prizes including an iBook Laptop computer and two domestic airline tickets, see below or visit www.upenn.edu/ogcpa/pennsway. The list will be printed in an upcoming issue of Almanac. --Ed. |
