Every day Vanderbilt University makes our community better through our teaching, learning, research, healing and caring. As faculty and staff we also help make our community better through the Vanderbilt Community Giving Campaign. We invite you to participate in Vanderbilt’s efforts to continue to be a leader in giving back to the community by supporting the Vanderbilt Community Giving Campaign.

Through the Vanderbilt Community Giving Campaign, nonprofit agencies in Middle Tennessee receive much-needed assistance from the generous spirit of the Vanderbilt community. This year we are continuing our partnership with some of the area's leading service providers. These organizations along with others tackle some of our community’s toughest challenges such as domestic violence, hunger, substance abuse, quality education, environment, healthcare, housing and job training.

Collectively, we can better the lives of those around us and our community as a whole. Last year our philanthropic gifts totaled in excess of $1 million dollars. Please know that no matter the size of your gift, you will be making a positive impact on our Middle Tennessee community.

Every gift counts.

Thank you for your generosity and thoughtfulness.

Sincerely,

David Williams II and Gail Carr Williams
2009 Community Giving Campaign Co-chairs
