MSUM’s Combined Charities Campaign ends soon!

The annual Minnesota State Employee’s Combined Charities Campaign runs through Saturday, October 31. If you have misplaced or have not yet received an information packet and pledge form, please contact Deb Lewis (2158) in Human Resources.

MSUM’s goal is $63,000. To date, MSUM employee pledges total $29,958.00- 47.5% of this year’s goal!

This year’s motto is: STATE EMPLOYEES CARING FOR MINNESOTA…YOU CAN MAKE A DIFFERENCE!

The timing of this year’s Campaign is coming at a time when many of us are holding our pocketbooks a little closer and we’re spending more carefully. While we all may be feeling a bit of a financial pinch, the necessity to contribute is even greater this year. $1 a paycheck can make a big difference to the charities—every little bit counts and can make a huge difference in someone’s life—in these tight financial times, it is better to give even a little, than not give at all.

Our communities depend on people like you. State employees are known for their generosity and because of that generosity Minnesota/North Dakota are better places to live. No other citizens have the reputation for taking care of their own.

Through your generous giving, thousands of people will gain needed assistance and be given hope for a brighter tomorrow. (All pledges are tax deductible, and there are 37 charitable federations featured in this year’s campaign.)

Please consider what a difference you can make.

Thank You!
