 Subject: MASSMAIL - Campus Charitable Fund Drive

Dear Campus Community:

As we near the conclusion of our 2009 Campus Charitable Fund Drive, we 
want to tell you that you stepped forward and demonstrated that long-
established Illinois value of caring once again this year. We could not 
be prouder to be part of such a great campus community. You are truly 
amazing.

Because of your generosity we have raised $1.38 million dollars. Numerous 
local agencies will now have the funds they need to assist thousands of 
our neighbors here in central Illinois. 

We are now just $20,000 away from our goal of raising $1.4 million for 
the second consecutive year. We will continue to accept donations at 
www.ccfd.illinois.edu until December 15 and we believe with your help we 
will reach our goal. 

Although these are tough economic times we believe that with every 
challenging time comes an opportunity. This is our opportunity to open 
our hearts and help others in our community. Let us not miss this chance.

With gratitude,

Robert A. Easter					
Interim Chancellor and Provost
