Colorado Combined Campaign

'Support the Fort'

October 19 kicks off the Colorado Combined Campaign, the annual campus fund-raising event. The theme of the campaign, which runs through November 20, is 'Support the Fort'. This drive is the only way Colorado state employees are contacted for charitable giving through their workplace.

Create a Better Colorado

Each year, Colorado State University ranks among the state's leading campaign participants. In 2008, 431 CSU faculty and staff set a new record level of giving by contributing $151,796. The goal for 2009 is to 'Support the Fort' with a $160,000 in donations from 500 employees.

"Last year, Colorado State University employees made more contributions to the Colorado Combined Campaign than ever before," said President Tony Frank.

"That means that in the spirit of the tough economic times we face, our employees recognized the importance of giving to help all those who rely on charitable organizations and need our additional assistance. This level of giving speaks volumes about the Colorado State University community and the compassion and support we provide to others"

The Colorado Combined Campaign includes more than 750 charitable organizations across Colorado. Donations can be made through payroll deductions, credit cards, or by one-time check or cash donations. Donate online at https://donor.unitedeway.org/?Campaign=ccc09.
