Total gifts from faculty and staff on all Carolina campuses are $1.7 million this fiscal year alone, a $400,000 increase over last year at this time. Faculty and staff members can participate to the area of their choice if they have not yet done so. Pledge cards and additional information are available online at www.sc.edu/familyfund.

Added together, every dollar given to the University through the Family Fund campaign makes a significant difference across campus. Gifts so far have provided free wellness testing, funded departmental initiatives, brought faculty speakers to campus, enhanced scholarship funding and affected faculty, staff, and students campuswide. No matter how big or small, every gift is important. Faculty and staff participation is proof that we are proud to see the University of South Carolina advance as one of the nation's premiere institutions
