Dear Colleagues:
I am pleased to share with you the results of the Maryland Charity Campaign (MCC), Maryland’s workplace charitable giving program, which took place this past October through Dec. 31, 2024.
This year’s MCC theme was “Making a Difference Together,” and the results show that the theme resonated with many generous donors. State employees and retirees raised $1.87 million. Of that, the University of Maryland, Baltimore (UMB) raised over $145,000 from our generous faculty, staff, and retirees.
I extend my sincere appreciation to all of you who donated to the causes you care about. A substantial number of nonprofits will benefit from your philanthropic contributions.
I’d like to commend UMB’s 2024 MCC co-chairs, Alexa Mayo, MLS, AHIP, assistant dean for research and information services at the Health Sciences and Human Services Library, and David Pitts, MBA, assistant dean for informatics at the School of Social Work, for their leadership and support of this annual statewide campaign.
I’d also like to thank UMB’s MCC liaisons, Lisa Vuolo, executive director of annual and leadership giving, Office of Philanthropy, and Bill Crockett, MS, RCRSP, assistant vice president, Division of Student Affairs. Their combined efforts were critical to our continued success.
Thank you for your generosity.
Sincerely,
Bruce E. Jarrell, MD, FACS
President
University of Maryland, Baltimore
