Visit Us at the Benefits Fair

Champlainers, here’s your mid-week reminder about the 2012 Champlain College Community Campaign.

We are in the second week of the October campaign to raise $35,000 with a goal of a 50% staff and faculty participation rate.

The great news is that we have a fresh total to report!

·         $25,417 pledged toward our goal of $35,000 – 72% of the way to the goal!

·         80 people for a 23.1% participation rate toward 50%.

In case you didn’t check the http://champlainunitedway.blogspot.com/ this week, the winner of the Apple iPad was Jean Marie Severance of the EHS office. Congratulations and thank you for your participation and pledge.

The next incentive raffle will be Friday, Oct. 19 at 5 p.m. for all pledges received.
