The MTSU Employee Charitable Giving Campaign is now underway in support of a number of local charities, according to campaign chair Gloria Bonner.

"Make a Big Blue Difference" is the 2009 theme, and our goal is to get at least $85,000 in pledges this year. With just over 2,200 employees here at MTSU, this goal can be easily attained if each employee pledged $40 per year. That's just $3.33 per month.

Gifts may be designated to any charitable organization from a list of nine independent charities and three federated charitable organizations including Community Health Charities, Community Shares, and local United Ways. The payroll deduction option is provided and is a very cost effective way of making your gift. You also have the option of writing a personal check made payable to "MTSU Employee Giving Campaign" if you prefer that over payroll deduction.

The campaign material will be online.
