Campaign update from SMPH Partners in Giving chairs

Thank you to everyone who participated in the 2024 Partners in Giving Campaign! SMPH achieved a participation rate of 6%, which is slightly higher than our 2023 participation rate of 5.9%. Across the SMPH community, 333 individuals plus funds through special events raised a total of $224,962 in the 2024 campaign. We could not have done this without each and every one of you. Those who are still interested in participating even though the formal campaign is over may do so by visiting giving.wi.gov. Again – thank you to everyone for another successful campaign.

Every gift makes an impact. Even a small recurring donation each pay period can make a difference. How much of a difference? Check out these examples:

  • Just $1 per pay period to the Hunger Relief Fund of Wisconsin provides 16 boxes of healthy breakfast cereal offering sustenance and hope to those in need.
  • Only $15 per pay period to Creating Health Communities (CHC) provides an Alzheimer’s care consultant for an overwhelmed caregiver during the night, offering essential support and relief to help them find moments to recharge.
  • $35 per pay period to United Way provides 13 hours of in-school mental health counseling for uninsured students, helping them manage stress, improve their well-being, and thrive both in and out of the classroom.

"Together We Do More"

 

The 52st annual Partners in Giving campaign ran from Oct 7-Dec. 3. This year’s campaign theme was “Together We Do More.” State, UW and UW Health employees in Dane County joined together to raise money in support of more than 500 charities making a difference in the lives of those who need it most, locally and globally.

Wisconsin’s tradition of giving back is as important as ever. Thank you for your continued generosity.
