Dear Colleagues:

I am pleased to share with you the final results of the Maryland Charity Campaign (MCC),Maryland’s workplace charitable giving program, which took place this past October through Dec. 31, 2023.

This year’s MCC theme was Leave No One Behind, and the results show that the theme resonated with many generous donors. State employees and retirees raised $1.85 million. Of that, UMB raised over $150,000 from our talented faculty, staff, and retirees.

I extend my sincere appreciation to all of you who donated to the causes you care about. A substantial number of nonprofits will benefit from your philanthropic contributions.

I’d like to commend UMB’s 2023 MCC co-chairs, Peter Murray, PhD, CAS, MS, chief information officer and senior vice president for information technology, and Alexa Mayo, MLS, AHIP, interim associate vice provost and interim dean of the Health Sciences and Human Services Library, for their leadership and support of this annual statewide campaign. I’d also like to thank UMB’s MCC liaisons, Lisa Vuolo, executive director of annual and leadership giving, Office of Philanthropy, and Bill Crockett, MS, RCRSP, assistant vice president, Division of Student Affairs. Their combined efforts were critical to our continued success. 

Thank you for your generosity.

Sincerely,

Bruce E. Jarrell, MD, FACS
