41st Maryland Charity Campaign Underway at SU
By SU Public Relations
SALISBURY, MD---Each year, the Maryland Charity Campaign provides more than $2 million for nearly 1,000 non-profit organizations throughout the state thanks to the generosity of state employees.
SU faculty and staff are encouraged to support this year’s 41st annual campaign, “Giving Back Together.”
Through Friday, December 12, Maryland state employees participating in the program may donate to their choice of organizations such as food banks, mental health programs, homeless services, animal shelters and more. Organizations eligible for support through the program include the SU Foundation, Inc. (code 52-1127396).
“The Maryland Charity Campaign is more than a charitable giving campaign,” said Joe Benyish, SU director of Orientation, Transition and Family Programs and Maryland Charity Champaign chair for the University. “It is a collective effort of thousands of Maryland state employees and retirees who come together to inspire hope in communities near and far.”
The committee is encouraging all faculty and staff to consider giving at least $1 per pay ($26 a year).
“Your participation makes a difference,” said Benyish. “It’s not about the amount. It’s about showing up for the causes that matter and supporting our University System of Maryland institution’s commitment to service and community.”
Those who donate will be entered into weekly drawings for prizes including gift cards, experiences, and more.
