Community Giving Campaign starts Sept. 24

Posted 9/23/2009

Every day Vanderbilt employees make our community better through our teaching, learning, healing and caring.  We invite you to participate in Vanderbilt’s efforts to continue to be a leader in giving back to the community by supporting the Vanderbilt Community Giving Campaign.

Through the Vanderbilt Community Giving Campaign, nonprofit agencies in Middle Tennessee receive much needed assistance from the generous spirit of the Vanderbilt community.  This year we are continuing our partnership with some of the area’s leading providers of services to those in need – United Way of Metropolitan Nashville, Community Health Charities, Community Shares and the Nashville Alliance for Public Education.  These organizations tackle some of our community’s toughest challenges – domestic violence, hunger, substance abuse, quality education, pollution and job training.

Collectively, we can better the lives of those around us and our community as a whole.  Regardless of the amount you choose to contribute, your support makes a significant difference to our community.  Every gift counts. 

Thank you for your generosity and consideration.

Sincerely,

David Williams
Vice Chancellor for University Affairs and Athletics,
General Counsel and Secretary of the University
