Win a FREE MSUM Parking Spot While Donating To MSUM’s Combined Charities Campaign
January is just around the corner and it is inevitable that we will experience below zero temperatures, bone-chilling wind, and treacherous ice and major snow accumulations!
Wouldn’t it be nice to have a parking spot (every day in January 2010 for staff, 1/08/10-2/05/10 for faculty) near your building of employment? A spot that would be exclusively yours for the entire month!
Donate today to a charitable organization during MSUM’s Combined Charities Campaign and your name will be entered in a drawing to be held in December.
This year’s Combined Charities Campaign runs through October 31, 2009.
You can make a difference! Please consider donating today!
