Penn's
Way 2002:
Commitment to Our Community
Dear Colleagues,
We would
like to thank those who participated in Penn's Way 2001. Last year's
workplace charitable campaign raised close to $420,000 for our community's
many charitable organizations! You should be proud of this incredible
accomplishment, and we are sure that you join us as we look forward
to continuing this success for Penn's
Way 2002.
We know
that within Penn's faculty and staff lies an abundance of compassion,
generosity, and commitment to serve others that reflects this year's
theme: Commitment to Our Community. Many of you take time
out daily from busy schedules to perform acts of kindness--as teachers,
mentors, and caregivers--throughout the region. In the same way
that many of you have generously given to help those deeply
affected by the national tragedy of September 11, we ask you to
support those in our local community with significant continuing
needs. We ask Penn's Way supporters to continue their participation
and help us gain new participants so that we can collectively support
the institutions and agencies that further nurture our 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 2002 includes both the
United Way of Southeastern Pennsylvania (UWSEPA) and the Center
for Responsible Funding (CRF) and their respective, affiliated 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. Also, do watch
for updates on the campaign in Almanac that will contain
timely news on the week's raffle prizes, winners, and highlights
on our progress towards this year's $400,000 campaign goal.
Please
join us and participate actively in Penn's Way 2002. Our heartfelt
thanks
to you for your consideration.
Sincerely,
--Dr.
Valarie Swain-Cade McCoullum,Penn's Way Co-Chair; Vice Provost for
University Life

Commitment
to Our Community
During
its 262 year tenure, the University of Pennsylvania has played a
vital role as neighbor, co-worker, and policy maker, alongside of
its residential and civic peers. University Faculty and Staff and
University City/West Philadelphia residents have created working
alliances in pursuit of a stronger community. Following that tradition,
we invite our University friends and colleagues to contribute to
Penn's Way 2002: Commitment to Our Community--the University's
employee workplace giving campaign. Please join us as we assist
our neighbors, co-workers, fellow citizens and those in need, locally
and nationally. Help support the work of nine charitable organizations,
representing thousands of non-profits. In light of the September
11 tragedies, your generosity towards these groups is more important
now than ever. Your commitment to community sustains all of us.
Penn's
Way 2002 Raffle
Rules
and Restrictions:
Penn's
Way 2002 will run from November 8-December 31, 2001 and is open
to all Penn employees. To show our appreciation to those that participate
in the campaign, Penn's Way 2002 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, you must turn in a sealed completed confidential
Penn's Way envelope to your school/center's coordinator or facilitator
or directly to the Payroll Department. You must, on the outside
of the envelope, complete both the section for your name and
the section for your school/center name. Failure to do so will nullify
the entry. For your reference, a list of coordinators is included
in your campaign materials.
Each
week the Almanac will publish the available prizes for the
upcoming week and highlight the current week's winners. Winner will
receive notification by e-mail and via publication in the Almanac.
Winners will have two weeks to claim their prize. 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.
Earlier participants will have more chances to win! 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, SEE
BELOW or visit www.upenn.edu/pennsway/.
The list will be available in print in an upcoming issue of Almanac.
