Campus Cares Supporters Double Down On Giving

Campus Cares street team Foundation Staff Ann Rogers-Williams shares about Campus Cares

The 2021 employee giving campaign, called Campus Cares, was again made successful by the efforts of SPSCC faculty, staff, and Student Senate volunteers. Participation more than doubled thanks to a dedicated team of campus partners who found new ways to encourage SPSCC colleagues to get involved. Employees gave one-time gifts or signed up to participate in the campus payroll deduction employee giving program. Development Director, Evan Skytte shared, “We are so inspired by all who gave to support our students this time around.” In addition to reaching out to encourage staff and faculty to give support through financial contributions, the campaign strengthened bonds between campus partners by working with Dancing Goats Coffee Roasters to set the stage for friendly staff and faculty outdoor gatherings over a cup of coffee. A message board of hand-written notes of appreciation for students and fellow staff and faculty was set up nearby in the Building 22 lobby for staff to see and share. During the last week of the campaign, the Campus Cares team partnered with Student Life to give contributors a chance to be involved in the Student Senate Toiletry drive for students in need. Partnerships like these encourage a culture of philanthropy among students and give staff and faculty a chance to directly support students who are inspired to make a difference on campus. That spirit of generosity is reflected in the work staff and faculty do to support the college every day. We are grateful to SPSCC faculty, staff, and administrators who continue to give and make an impact in so many ways!
