The 2008 MCC Campaign Exceeds Last Year’s Total
Raises $4,054,145
Once again, the Maryland Charity Campaign (MCC) had a banner year. The 2008 Campaign raised an incredible $4,054,143! “We began our campaign knowing that 2008 would be a challenging year,” says Donna Talbert, manager of MCC. But, because of the generosity of Maryland State employees and retirees and their outpouring of support, we raised a little more than last year. It’s a remarkable achievement.”

The Maryland Charity Campaign Moves Toward a “Greener” Future
MCC believes in the importance of protecting the environment and has embarked on efforts to make the Campaign a “greener” one. You may remember last year’s incentive - the red and white pen – that was made of biodegradable cornstarch. This year’s incentive is made of recycled paper and is eco-friendly as well.
In an effort to reduce the amount of paper that is used for directories, posters and other promotional materials, everything will be available for downloading on the Charity’s website ... just click on the Coordinators Corner tab.
