UMBC: Two-Time Winner of the Maryland Charity Campaign Governor’s Cup

UMBC has received the Maryland Charity Campaign’s 2008 Governor’s Cup for the second year in a row for per capita giving for employers of our size (500-2,499 employees) during the fall 2008 campaign.
The university set institutional records with increases greater than 30 percent over the previous year for both the number of donors and contributions. In 2008, 930 UMBC employees contributed a total of $160,000, compared to 703 employees and $122,842 in 2007.
“All of us can be proud that UMBC has received the Maryland Charity Campaign Governor’s Cup for the second year in a row. We are a caring community with a strong commitment to helping others less fortunate. Even during these difficult economic times, our students, faculty and staff demonstrated their generosity during the fall 2008 Campaign,” said President Freeman Hrabowski.
Hrabowski especially thanks the University Steering Committee and unit coordinators who made this year such a great success.
The engraved, silver Governor’s Cup will remain at UMBC until the 2009 winner is announced.
