Last yearʼs workplace charitable campaign raised over $466,000 for our community and its charitable organizations. Through your generosity and spirit of giving, along with the good work of both the United Way of Southeastern Pennsylvania (UWSEPA) and the Center for Responsible Funding (CRF), we will be able to continue to send a resounding message of hope and support to our community organiza- tions and the vulnerable populations these agencies serve. It is no secret that our economic climate continues to create hardship for some. It is in difficult times— such as these—that support from thoughtful, caring individuals is needed most. Without your generosity, it is going to be a lot harder for many of our neighbors, co-workers and friends to deal with emergencies, raise healthy children and live better lives. We have, therefore, chosen this yearʼs theme to reflect the importance and impact that your kindness can achieve in Creating Community Together. As in previous years, the Pennʼs Way 2005 campaign involves both UW and CRF and their respective, affiliated charities, and it includes weekly raffles and a grand prize drawing to thank Pennʼs Way partici- pants. All you need to do to qualify for the prize is submit your completed pledge form. Last yearsʼ intro- duction of an online pledge form proved successful and we urge you to utilize this safe and efficient tool for doing your part. The form employs the same online security measures that support and protect services like U@Penn and PennIntouch. Each school and center will also have designated coordinators to assist both you and us in making the campaign a success. Please review the materials to learn more about the campaign, then go to www.upenn.edu/pennsway/ and complete the pledge form. You can also watch for updates on the campaign in Almanac and the Pennʼs Way Campaign web site, as we strive to reach our goal of $470,000. We ask you, our faculty and staff, to help make Creating Community Together a success by using Pennʼs Way as the vehicle to make a real difference in the lives of those individuals and families less fortunate than yourself. Thank you again for your generosity and remember no pledge is too small! —Maureen S.
