Nationally,
the interest in philanthropy among women
is on the rise. At the University of Virginia,
women have become significant volunteers
in the institution’s development
effort and many have the financial clout
to make significant gifts. The U.Va. Women
in Leadership & Philanthropy program
is designed to cultivate ties with alumnae,
parents and friends through education,
opportunities for leadership and giving
strategies. “We are reaching out
to women to let them know that their opinions
and efforts, as well as their gifts, are
very important to the University,” said
Robert Sweeney, senior vice president for
development and public affairs at U.Va. Full

 For
the past six years, thousands of people
have flocked to the Virginia-Kentucky Fairgrounds
in Wise, Virginia in July — not for
the county fair, but for free health care.
This weekend, dozens of physicians, nurses,
lab technicians, pharmacists, emergency
medical technicians and other employees
of the University of Virginia Health System
will provide free medical services to an
estimated 3,500 people from Southwest Virginia
and neighboring states — many whom
do not have health insurance — as
part of the 7th annual Remote Area Medical
Clinic. Full
story.
