The Commonwealth of
Virginia Campaign

3
00:00:04,070 --> 00:00:07,490
is an annual giving program
for Virginia employees.

4
00:00:07,490 --> 00:00:09,680
And at UVA we take
a lot of pride

5
00:00:09,680 --> 00:00:13,270
in giving back to our
community through the CVC.

6
00:00:13,270 --> 00:00:15,650
The Blueridge Area
Foodbank is providing food

7
00:00:15,650 --> 00:00:19,400
to an average of 118,000
people every month.

8
00:00:19,400 --> 00:00:24,680
Last year we received almost
$100,000 from UVA employees.

9
00:00:24,680 --> 00:00:28,700
And that allows us to
provide 400,000 meals

10
00:00:28,700 --> 00:00:30,440
to people in need.

11
00:00:30,440 --> 00:00:32,689
I think it is important
for the university

12
00:00:32,689 --> 00:00:35,690
to show how much we care
about the community.

13
00:00:35,690 --> 00:00:39,950
CASA is the Court Appointed
Children's Special Advocate

14
00:00:39,950 --> 00:00:43,130
and what it does is it acts as
a voice for children who have

15
00:00:43,130 --> 00:00:44,990
any kind of court proceedings.

16
00:00:44,990 --> 00:00:48,800
We recruit, screen, train,
supervise, and support

17
00:00:48,800 --> 00:00:52,280
community volunteers who are
appointed by juvenile court

18
00:00:52,280 --> 00:00:55,970
judges to advocate for
abused and neglected kids.

19
00:00:55,970 --> 00:00:59,550
Thank you to UVA and
to its employees.

20
00:00:59,550 --> 00:01:01,790
Without your
dollars we would not

21
00:01:01,790 --> 00:01:04,370
be able to provide
this essential service

22
00:01:04,370 --> 00:01:07,670
to some of the most vulnerable
kids in our community.

23
00:01:07,670 --> 00:01:09,770
I've been at UVA since 1987.

24
00:01:09,770 --> 00:01:13,010
And I think I have not
missed a year of contributing

25
00:01:13,010 --> 00:01:14,870
through the CVC.

26
00:01:14,870 --> 00:01:17,670
CVC really has a lot
of local organizations.

27
00:01:17,670 --> 00:01:19,970
And the ones that I
contribute to are all local.

28
00:01:19,970 --> 00:01:21,860
In particular, Building
Goodness Foundation

29
00:01:21,860 --> 00:01:25,130
was started by builders
and architects in town.

30
00:01:25,130 --> 00:01:27,950
Building Goodness Foundation
coordinates volunteers

31
00:01:27,950 --> 00:01:30,570
from the construction
and the design industry.

32
00:01:30,570 --> 00:01:32,970
We bring volunteers to the
place where they're needed,

33
00:01:32,970 --> 00:01:34,640
whether it's local
home improvements,

34
00:01:34,640 --> 00:01:37,950
or an international setting,
or an NGO needs a clinic.

35
00:01:37,950 --> 00:01:40,354
The CVC helps us get
out there and do that

36
00:01:40,354 --> 00:01:41,270
and make a difference.

37
00:01:41,270 --> 00:01:44,720
I donate through the CVC,
because it's very important

38
00:01:44,720 --> 00:01:48,200
that we continue to be a
university community that

39
00:01:48,200 --> 00:01:48,980
cares.

40
00:01:48,980 --> 00:01:52,370
And keep looking for new
ways to give of ourselves.

41
00:01:52,370 --> 00:01:56,060
And fortunately the CVC Campaign
makes that very easy to do.

42
