Jim Fitzgerald of the CVC Campaign gave a presentation regarding the 2007 campaign. He spoke about

• 100% of your contribution goes to the charity; no administrative fees
• $650,000 is the goal this year – last year UVa came in second to VCU
• If an individual is not sure what charities they want to give to, the money will be spread around
• Can be completed online, and paid by payroll deduction, cash, check, credit card
• Pledging ends November 30
• UVA does not currently match donations; this is being looked into by administration
• Larry Sabato, this year’s honorary CVC Chair, will contribute $1 to his designated charity, the Pancreatic Cancer Action Network, for every person who donates to the CVC.
