 Subject: MASSMAIL - Campus Charitable Fund Drive

Dear Colleagues,

This year the Leading Together Campus Charitable Fund Drive (CCFD) 
campaign ends before Thanksgiving-on Friday, November 18, 2005. 

I share the happy news that the Urbana-Champaign campus has been 
extraordinarily generous in its support of the 11 worthy organizations 
participating in the campaign.  Each day of the fund drive we draw closer 
to our ambitious $1.1 million goal.  I am so proud to be part of a campus 
with such a large heart, and an even larger imagination.  Our faculty and 
staff are truly leaders in imagining and realizing the possibilities for 
our friends and neighbors around the state and around the world whose 
lives are touched by such generosity.

To those faculty and staff who have not yet joined the fund drive, I urge 
you to learn about the work of the participating agencies and consider 
participating in CCFD as a way to help demonstrate that our campus cares 
about the world outside our boundaries.  I know many of you support 
deserving nonprofits in other ways and I thank you most sincerely on their 
behalf.  But if you would like to consider joining CCFD, more information 
about the fund drive, the participating agencies, and an opportunity to 
pledge online are available at www.uiuc.ccfd.edu.  Or you can give through 
your department volunteer leader.  Their names are also available on this 
site.

With Thanksgiving nearly upon us, let me take this opportunity to wish you 
and your family a wonderful holiday.  Thank you for all you do to make 
this university a great one-and to again say "Thanks for Giving" to all 
our generous CCFD donors.

Richard Herman
Chancellor
