For the past three weeks, faculty and staff of Loma Linda University Health have been generously signing up to support the organization they believe in during April’s Grow Together employee giving campaign—and the month is not over yet.
So far in April, the 128 employees who have pledged to give back to LLUH through payroll deductions will add more than $36,000 annually—in addition to $91,037 previously committed by employees—to the organization in support of helping patients, students, and the community.
Through Grow Together, employees can support any area or project of Loma Linda University Health. Staff and faculty are invited to think about where their passion lies and consider supporting initiatives that speak to those passions.
Downloadable below is a form to sign up for payroll deductions. Employees may choose any amount to go toward funds or causes they care about. The top 10 funds employees have chosen to support this year, in order of number of gifts, are:
1. Family fund (helps support LLUH employees in times of need)
2. Medical Center unrestricted
3. Children’s Hospital Foundation (including equipment, various units, and other priorities)
4. Vision 2020
5. Behavioral Medicine Center
6. University president’s fund (supports the university’s greatest need)
7. School of Pharmacy
8. LLUMC East Campus
9. Proton therapy research
10. International Heart Institute
“We recognize and share our gratitude to our employees who strengthen our hospitals, our schools, and the countless people we serve,” says Taylor Khoe-Mupas, manager of annual giving.
Numerous restaurants are offering discounts this month to employees who wear their Grow Together badge clip. Some restaurants have even extended the discount to continue rewarding Grow Together donors. Visit llugrow.org and scroll down to see the list of restaurants.
“Support your passion and join us as we Grow Together,” says Khoe-Mupas.
