Agencies depend on community support
Dear Colleague:Each of us has a responsibility to the community in which we live. As chair of the 2000 Trident United Way campaign, I want to ask for your support and help make this campaign a success. MUSC/MUHA/UMA/CFC values our partnership with Trident United Way in helping to make the Lowcountry a wonderful place to work, live and play.
When we contribute our personal financial resources to caring for children, the elderly, the hungry and the hurt, we make an investment in the world where our children grow and learn. Whether it is dealing with drug abuse or providing quality childcare, Trident United Way is finding solutions for our community.
MUSC/MUHA/UMA/CFC employees have an opportunity to make a tremendous impact on Trident United Way's community campaign and the vital program is supports. Through Trident United Way-funded programs last year alone, more than one in three tri-county residents were helped by people like you and me!
I encourage each of you to make an impact on our community. Make a gift
today and you will reach out to your community, help your fellow man, improve
someone's life and make a difference by starting with “The Power of U.”
Sincerely,
Fred A. Crawford Jr., M.D.
Horace G. Smithy Professor of Surgery
Chairman, Department of Surgery
Chair, 2000 TUW Campaign
