The 2005-06 Family Fund campaign has generated more than $1.1 million since July 1, 2005, because of committed faculty and staff campuswide.
Designating a gift to a specific area helps support students who are striving to accomplish their academic goals as well as faculty and staff programs that enrich professional careers. Every gift makes a difference. Family Fund donors enjoy benefits from area sponsors and make a dramatic difference in the lives of many.
Cary Henderson, donor relations, believes in the University's mission to serve all South Carolinians.

"Being a participant rather than a bystander has always been a part of who I am," she said. "From an early age I was encouraged by my parents to give back to my community whether as a volunteer or monetarily; thus, participating in the Family Fund has come naturally to me. My family and I support the University through this campaign because we strongly believe in the University of South Carolina, its leadership, and the role the University plays in the daily lives of all South Carolinians. As a USC employee I cannot imagine not financially supporting this wonderful place."Bob Harman, assistant director of University Housing Facility Management, focuses on the family element of the Family Fund.

"I support the Family Fund campaign for multiple reasons," he said. "First, it supports individual staff members in many different ways. Giving through the campaign allows us to get free flu shots, apply for scholarship monies, and take training classes in many diverse areas we might not be exposed to. I also believe in the mission of the institution and want to be a part of its new and exciting growth. The University is like family, and the more we support each other, the stronger we become as that family. Others should support the University to help ensure that more opportunities can be created to help advance our personal and professional growth as well as the mission of the University itself."For more information about the Family Fund, go to www.sc.edu/familyfund or call 7-2985.
