The Family Fund, the University’s internal giving campaign for faculty, staff, and retirees, broke records with a 20 percent increase in participation from last year at USC Aiken.
The Family Fund, organized by USC’s Advancement Office, designated leaders across campus to act as volunteers in the fundraising campaign. Efforts led to a total campus participation level of 76 percent, a 20 percent increase from 2003 to 2004. The total dollar amount raised is more than $47,000. The Family Fund campaign continues throughout the school year.
“Giving to the Family Fund is a demonstration of the commitment of our faculty, staff, and retirees,” said Deidre Martin, associate chancellor of University Advancement. “It sends a powerful positive message about USC Aiken to the community—that together, we are making a difference for our campus, and I am so proud to be a member of the USC Aiken family!”
The 2004–05 Family Fund campaign received donations from 258 members of the USC Aiken’s faculty and staff. More than 60 of these contributors were first-time Family Fund donors. For more information on the Family Fund at USC Aiken, call Deidre Martin at 56-3448 or go to www.usca.edu/familyfund/.
