A little help from my friends?

Dear Friends,

This is an out-of-sequence email and I will make it brief: UNH is running its annual fundraising campaign, The 603 Challenge (603 is our area code). I am asking you to make a donation of any amount to support my students. This link will take you to a page where you can donate directly either to my department or to the Student Organization for Health Leadership (SOHL). Both funds are used to advance our students’ educational experiences. We use this money to take them to conferences and other professional development opportunities, as well as to fund scholarships.

We have a goal of getting 100 donors this year. The amount donated is immaterial (though more is always better), the important thing is the number of unique donors. If we hit 100 donors, we will unlock almost $7,000 in matching funds, which would make a huge difference to our program.

Here is the link: https://www.givecampus.com/campaigns/34956/donations/new?tc=5953&a=6427840&designation=healthmanagementandpolicy&designation_2=hmpsohlstudentadvancementfund

A gift of as little as $5 will help us towards our goal.

If you appreciate my work, it would mean a lot to me if you would make even a small donation between now and Thursday.

Picture above is of my students attending an American College of Healthcare Executives of Northern New England annual meeting, which was made possible by donations like yours.

The quote below them is from a famous World War II story. A German 3-star general was surrendering to an American general toward the end of the war. The American was a 1-star. The German was offended to have to surrender to a lower ranking officer and demanded to see the American’s credentials. The American general waved his hand at the GIs who accompanied him and famously said, “These are my credentials.”

I have a lot of letters I can put after my name, but the thing I am most proud of are the young people I get to help launch their careers in a helping profession. These are my credentials.

Would you help me continue my mission?

Thanks for considering.

Mark
