In 2014, Todd Leach as the Tin Man led us on an adventure down the yellow brick road; our efforts yielded more than half-a-million dollars and made over-the-rainbow dreams come true for the charities, causes and people we supported.
In 2015, the battle took place among the stars, where our alliance of committed employees—led by Jedi Master David Marshall—proved they could summon the power of the Force for another half-million-dollar effort. Good hearts and generous spirits conquer all.
In 2016, James Graham from the Division of Rehabilitation Sciences led the resurrection in an epic campaign unlike any other. He unearthed a legion of generous contributors who clawed their way to a supernatural $584,494.
With the ground still damp from Harvey floodwaters, Steve Campbell led the charge in 2017 on an effort that saw UTMB raise more dollars than any agency or university in the state, the second campaign of the season (a flood relief effort to help affected employees raised almost $200,000 on its own).
In 2018 we celebrated 25 years of SECC, and welcomed School of Nursing Dean Deborah J. Jones as our campaign chair. In a SUPER campaign, we Hulk-smashed our way past our goal, and again claimed the title as the state's most generous cumulative contributor.
WHAT ABOUT 2019?
Elves? Minions? Ommpa Loompas? What sort of crafty creatures might already be at work on this year's critically important campaign? Stay tuned...
