Campus Campaign 2014 Wrap-Up
Primary tabs
Thanks to all who gave during Campus Campaign 2014.
As members of the college, you have made valuable donations -- no matter the amount -- that acknowledge our mission and demonstrate a commitment to success.
And a special thank you to the 171 first-time donors in 2014. Because of you, CFAES had its most successful year yet, with the largest participation in the college's history: 38 percent.
This represents a huge jump over last year.
Remember, every gift counts. This year, we were just 25 participants short of our 40-percent goal. And that's something to think about for 2015!
The graphs below represent final numbers.
Please find some funds to support, fill out your forms, and submit in order to keep raising the bars until we reach our goal. Your support counts towards the But For Ohio State campaign goal of $2.5 billion.

I am an administrative office associate who has the privilege of working in the director’s office.
The reason I call it a privilege is because I get to work with some really great people! I am also an ambassador for the Campus Campaign.
The amount you donate does not matter
I would like to share with you a true story about my involvement with Campus Campaign. Last year following a meeting, of which I was not invited. I was informed that I was assigned as a Campus Campaign ambassador for Extension. At first I was upset as I have never contributed to the fundraiser and did not feel it was a worthwhile cause. As a staff employee I felt that I don’t make enough in order to donate enough to really make a difference. After talking (griping) to someone they pointed out that the amount I donate does not matter, it is the fact that I participate.
I found something fun
As I looked over the long list of funds available at OSU, I felt that I was most passionate about the marching band and decided to donate to the Dot the “i” Marching Band Endowment Fund #482493. I had read in a newsletter that those donating to the fund would be invited to a band practice and have the opportunity to march in a “practice” script Ohio. I encouraged some coworkers to join me.
I got to march with the OSU Band
It was the most exciting event I have ever attended in the “shoe”. We went into the band room and were able to hear the band play all of my favorite songs. It was really loud and awesome! We felt very much appreciated for our donation. When we walked out onto the field with the band I felt as if I was walking on a cloud. My parents, husband, son and I are all alumni and the traditions of our band made me feel so proud to be a buckeye. I was paired up with a trumpet player that showed me how to march. She was a fellow Animal Science major and it seemed a coincidence that we were partners. As we lined up in the block it was very exciting and a bit scary to think about running into someone as we spelled out Ohio. It all worked out great with my new friend guiding me.
Find something local. Find something fun. Find something that fits for you.
I encourage you to make a donation toward your passion at the university as I was truly rewarded for my small donation. This year I am very excited to be an ambassador and contribute to Campus Campaign. Go Bucks!

PANCAKE BREAKFAST
About 180 Ohio State faculty and staff dropped in to catch flying pancakes flipped by Chris Cakes Inc. at the Employee Appreciation Breakfast March 13 in the Agricultural Administration Building.
In addition to pancakes with toppings, the menu included sausage links, coffee, orange drink, yogurt, and fresh fruit.
Also, guests learned more about one of Campus Campaign's highlighted funds, Operation: Military Kids 4-H, and about the campaign in general. The CFAES Staff Advisory Council also was on hand.
