2009 Campaign Goal: $520,000

Letter from the Campaign Co-Chairs

Dear Colleagues,

Last year, 1,585 Upstate Medical University employees raised $516,268 to help those in need. This generosity through our Community Giving Campaign supported vital health and human service agencies.

We ask everyone at Upstate to consider continuing this tradition by making a pledge to the 2009 campaign. A donation of any size truly helps families and individuals at the time of their greatest need.

We are proud of the clear message we send to our community: Upstate Medical University is making a difference in Central New York!

Sincerely,

Thomas R Welch, MD
Professor and Chair of Pediatrics, Upstate Medical University
Medical Director, Upstate Golisano Children’s Hospital
