CU’s season of giving under way via Colorado Combined Campaign
The University of Colorado’s 2011 Colorado Combined Campaign is under way. CU is the largest donor to the statewide effort, which benefits a variety of nonprofit service providers and charities. By supporting charity agencies through payroll deduction, CU faculty and staff help improve the quality of life in Colorado, especially for those in need.
“I know that every dollar matters in these challenging economic times,” CU President Bruce Benson wrote in an email. “That is why I am particularly proud of the contributions we have made. Part of our role as a public university is to make our state a better place, and it is gratifying to see that your personal values match our public mission.”
Various events are planned in conjunction with the campaign. Details on those and other campus-by-campus information follows:
