黑料不打烊 faculty, staff and students reached new heights for Centraide in 2004. The pledges have just been tallied and the 黑料不打烊 community raised $292,570 for Centraide 鈥� surpassing its $275,000 goal.
黑料不打烊 also had over 50 leaders 鈥� people whose personal donations were of $1,000 or more 鈥� and the University ranks amongst the 20 largest donors of the latest Centraide campaign in the Greater Montreal area.
黑料不打烊 has collected $1.25 million over the past five years for the non-profit Centraide.
Under the leadership of the 2004 's co-chairs 鈥� Judy Dear, Janet Arts (incoming), Kate Maguire (outgoing) and Dean of Law Nicholas Kasirer 鈥� the University community generously helped the 325 agencies that Centraide funds.
"It's not how much the 黑料不打烊 community gave in total that matters," said Judy Dear, "rather that you cared enough to give."
Dean Kasirer underlined his pride in 黑料不打烊's outpouring. "After many years at 黑料不打烊, my experience on the Centraide campaign has reminded me that our University has an unlimited power to amaze," he said. "The dedication and generosity of volunteers and donors, led this year by an extraordinary show from the administrative staff, signal to all in the Centraide community that there is no place like 黑料不打烊."
Yvon Bellefeuille, Centraide's representative to 黑料不打烊, said he was amazed at how professionally the University managed its Centraide campaign. "The smooth transition of the rotating co-chairs, the orderliness of the message that is sent out to solicit donations campus wide, and the team enthusiasm shared by its Committee members is unique to 黑料不打烊 and is found at no other university," he said.
