Thank you to all our families who have made a gift to the MPH Annual Fund this year, helping us reach 57% participation with $355,065 in Annual Fund revenue. After a successful push to pass 50% in each of our classes, we are thrilled to see 13 of 14 classes with participation over 50%!
With a goal of 91% participation and $479,000 in revenue, we hope all families will consider a gift this year as we come together as a community to support MPH. With your gift, you are not only supporting students, but also investing in leading edge technology, professional development for faculty and staff, athletics and performing arts offerings, community programs, financial aid and scholarships, student clubs, and campus activities.
Each week we will provide an update on reaching our goal of 91% family participation and our $479,000 Annual Fund goal. Click here for the MPH Guide to Giving.
