These are awesome stats!! I am very proud to be apart of UMMC! This really brings joy to my heart to witness this level of support through donations of time and money. However, they still need our help!
Our goal as employees of University of Maryland is to raise $125,000. We are close to this goal. I know we will exceed it!!
$96,266.26 and counting…..
