Thanks
for Daring to Care
To the Penn Community:
The
Penn's Way 2004 Campaign kicked off last September by challenging
the University community to "Dare to Care" about the
many who are facing terrible hardships, which have been
aggravated
in the current economic climate. Penn's Way 2004 sought
to rally the Penn community to strengthen the capacity
of charitable organizations to create positive change in
other people's lives.
You
answered the call. This year's campaign raised $466,771,
surpassing our goal of $465,000. Penn's Way 2004 also made
its mark by introducing Penn's Way Online. This incredible
technological innovation has made Penn's Way a nationally
benchmarked model for mobilizing personal volunteer networks
in combined campaigns.
We are
so proud that you have shown such deep compassion toward
our most vulnerable fellow human beings, and we know your
commitment will not subside.
We especially
applaud the hard work and enthusiasm of the many individual
volunteers who served as volunteer coordinators, and appreciate
the support of several departments: Business Services,
VPUL, Creative Communications, Payroll, ISC and Mail Services.
On
behalf of our charitable partner organizations and the
people
in our region whom they serve, our deepest thanks to everyone
who made Penn's Way 2004 such a remarkable success.
