United Way campaign exceeds goal
By Andy Clendennen When this year's annual United Way campaign began, no one expected to achieve the kind of financial results ultimately reached. Just six weeks into the campaign, pledges committed by University faculty, staff and retirees exceeded the goal of $435,000, marking the quickest financial goal attainment in recent campaign history. But the contributions didn't stop in mid-October. Through the second week in January, the drive had raised more than a half-million dollars, easily the most money ever raised by the University on behalf of the United Way of Greater St. Louis. "This is especially remarkable in light of the tragedies of September 11, the economy and the many demands on people over these past months," said Ann Prenatt, executive director of human resources. But it's not necessarily surprising. "The Washington University community always has been supportive of the St. Louis region through the United Way," Chancellor Mark S. Wrighton said, "but this year the campaign was an unprecedented, overwhelming success. I am proud and grateful to all those within the University who contributed so generously." Prenatt said she was thankful for the hard-working and creative co-chairs and volunteers who made this year's campaign a success. |
