1995 Campus Charitable Fund Drive Participate in a community of caring

By responding to the request for giving in the annual Campus Charitable
Fund Drive, the UI community has provided help to the people next door
and given hope to people around the world for 66 years.

In 1994, the $680,000 donated was distributed to 12 agencies, with local
services supported through United Way of Champaign County receiving about
one-fifth of its annual donations from UI employees.  Sixteen agencies
have become eligible to participate in this year's fund drive, expanding
the opportunities for giving.

More than 300 faculty and staff members participate by serving as fund-
drive volunteers.  Their efforts in distributing information, answering
questions and collecting donations make the campaign possible. In order
to recognize their contribution to the charitable fund drive, their
names are listed on page four of this insert.

"While I've been chair of the Campus Charitable Fund Drive I've learned
that the CCFD at the UI is unique among Big Ten universities for two
reasons: The campaign is conducted solely by campus volunteers - the
CCFD volunteers are all wonderful people and their participation is
essential to the success of the campaign; and it is a combined fund
drive with a very large selection of service organizations and individual
charities from which to choose, while still providing a way to
demonstrate support of our local community." said Mike McCulley,
professor of architecture. "This year we hope to encourage an even
higher percentage of employees to participate in that support."

Those donors who are designated as Fair Share Givers, Pacesetters and
Leaders are an important ingredient to the success of the campaign.
They, too, are listed.
