Community Campaign

Drs. Brian and Laura Sullivan to lead PSU Community Campaign

Drs. Brian and Laura Sullivan, Lindburg Pharmacy, are co-chairs of the 2009 PSU Community Campaign: Partners in Progress.  The Community Campaign is an annual program designed to solicit gifts for student scholarships and academic needs on campus, and is part of an overall private fund-raising program that last year raised more than $12 million to support the university. The Pittsburg State University Foundation awarded more than $2.4 million in scholarship aid to students last year. The Campaign will kick off with a breakfast on March 10, 2009 at 7:30 am in the Crimson and Gold Ballroom of the Overman Student Center. It will be during the breakfast that the “Rex Crowley Outstanding Partner in Progress Award” will be presented to Mt. Carmel Regional Medical Center. The “Rex Crowley Outstanding Partner in Progress Award” recognizes a business in the Pittsburg community who has been an outstanding partner with the University. The award is named in honor of Rex Crowley, whose career as both a local banker and as a fund-raising volunteer for Pittsburg State University is well known in the community. Development officers will be making personal visits to businesses and professionals during the next few weeks. Those making gifts to the Partners in Progress Campaign will be identified by campaign emblems in their windows. Donors will also be receiving public recognition through campaign materials and the media throughout the campaign. Businesses interested in making a tax-deductible gift have until June 30, 2009 to be included in this year’s campaign. For more information, contact the Office of University Development at 235-4768.
