Message from the Chancellor: United Way Campaign kicks off


Dear MCC Colleagues:

Throughout October, MCC joins thousands of other businesses in the annual United Way Campaign. I suspect that we all have friends, neighbors, and family who have faced perilous challenges. While I know there are many demands on your resources and many requests for your generous support, I hope you can consider helping our community through the United Way.

United Way allows us to make a single contribution benefiting over 400 programs provided by more than 150 agencies in our region. 100% of our contributions stay within our community. We also have the option of tailoring our contributions to specific agencies, or the types of services we prefer. As you consider making your United Way pledge/contribution, you should know that your pledge can be directed to three funds that will specifically benefit MCC students. These three funds are prominently displayed on the MCC pledge form for your convenience as follows:

1) MCC Health Science Institute Fund – Supports specialized equipment, medical labs and programs necessary to operate a state-of-the-art facility for training nursing and allied health students.

2) MCC Student Book and Emergency Fund – Assists students at any of MCC’s campuses when emergencies occur, including financial assistance with books and other related expenses.

3) MCC Rainbow Kids Fund - Financially assists students who have child care expenses at the Francis Child Development Institute.

MCC Foundation – You can also “write-in” MCC Foundation on the line in Section D for a general contribution to the MCC Foundation to be used as needed for the benefit of our students.

In closing, United Way is an effective way for us to share our resources. As “One MCC” our individual contributions become one significant larger contribution that truly impacts those in our community who are in need. Thank you for considering this request.

Mark
