The campaign kicks off April 1. The huge impact MUSC s two fund-raising efforts have on the future of the Medical University and the community it serves led to McCartney s appointment. Her task will be to demonstrate to MUSC employees how vital their donations are. MUSC employs more than 8,000 people, McCartney said.
Employees can choose from an abundance of programs, projects, scholarships and agencies.
In the YES campaign, employees can donate their money to 400 areas within the Medical University. Donations support many areas of the university including research, minority scholarships, library resources, educational seminars and patient-oriented programs. Their generosity has helped 43 agencies improve the lives of thousands of Lowcountry citizens. This is a significant demonstration of the commitment employees have to the elderly, the children, the abused and the hungry, McCartney said. The Trident United Way campaign is held in October.
