Dear MUSC, MUHA, UMA, and CFC Family Member: Soon you will receive materials regarding the 2004 Trident United Way Campaign and how you can personally help solve our community’s most crucial and persistent problems. We are writing you in advance to urge you to read through the materials and carefully consider them. After the government, United Way is the largest supporter of health and human services. Locally, more than 60 Trident United Way agencies fund programs that nurture children and youth, increase self-sufficiency, promote health and healing, support older people and strengthen families.  We all are familiar with the important work the United Way performs during the times of disaster or emergency. The bulk of the United Way’s work, however, takes place on a much less visible yet profoundly meaningful level: for example, making sure an elderly woman enjoys a hot meal or making sure a child has a safe place to go after school. As one of the largest employers in the Charleston area, the Medical University and its employees have a tremendous impact on the services the United Way is able to provide this coming year. We hope that you will join us, along with your fellow MUSC/MUHA/UMA/CFC employees, in making an investment in our community and future. Pride in our University and fellow employees is reaffirmed every time we extend ourselves to meet our responsibilities to our fellow Lowcountry residents. Thanks for all you do on behalf of our community.  With best personal regards, Raymond S. Greenberg, MD, PhD  President  Medical University of South Carolina  W.
