    Memorials and Tributes

    Memorials and tribute gifts are a wonderful way to honor others. Remembering a lost loved one on their birthday, honoring a classmate for a recent achievement, or recognizing a friend who has been helpful to you in a time of need—are all ways to honor those you love while enhancing the learning and teaching opportunities at Saint Vincent.

    Faculty and Staff Giving

    Today kicks off our 2013-2014 Faculty and Staff Campaign. As employees of Saint Vincent College, our connection with the students and our Benedictine mission is extremely important. We invest in our students every day in many ways. The Annual Fund is just one more way for us to help provide current and future students with the personalized education that is the hallmark of Saint Vincent College. The gifts raised through the Annual Fund help assist all operations of the College including student scholarships, financial aid packages, library acquisitions, computer needs and other projects, which directly benefit our students.

    The Faculty and Staff Campaign is a reaffirmation of our commitment to Saint Vincent and its success. In support of our students, I ask that you consider a gift to the Saint Vincent Annual Fund. Support from the faculty, administration and staff of Saint Vincent enables us to leverage greater gifts from many alumni and friends. Your support is important! You can make a cash or credit card gift, or you may choose to participate in payroll deduction. Payroll deductions make giving simple. You may choose the amount you would like deducted from your paycheck throughout the year. Even a small gift each pay period adds up to a significant gift over the calendar year.

    Thank you for your consideration and especially for the important role you play at Saint Vincent College. Please click on the attached form and return it to the Annual Fund Office no later than Friday, June 14, 2013. Should you have any questions or concerns about your payroll deduction, please call the Annual Fund Office at 724-805-2949. Your generosity sends the message that we believe in Saint Vincent College and are dedicated to its future!

    Sincerely,

    Alicia M. Barnes, C'01
    Director of Annual Fund
