Let's Show the Community How Much We Love New College!
| |
 | | The Giving Challenge 2013 |
It's time once again for the 36-Hour Giving Challenge! Last year, we raised $100,000 for the College and earned second place for the highest number of individual donors. That is pretty impressive considering there were over 100 organizations participating!
Let's do it again and show the Sarasota/Manatee community how much WE LOVE NEW COLLEGE! With over 200 organizations participating this year, it's a challenge, but with your support, we know we can be successful. All monies will help us continue our long tradition of offering the finest educational experience for our students.
The 36-Hour Giving Challenge will start on Tuesday, March 5th, at 7 a.m., and run through Wednesday, March 6th, at 7 p.m.
Donations can be made online at: givingpartnerchallenge.org.
Donations may also be made in advance. Many of you did this last year. If you'd like to give us your information ahead of time, please call Tess Herschman at 941-487-4800 for advance pledges.
This is an easy way to show how much you love New College. Unleash your inner generosity and give! Let's be number one this year and help New College continue to offer the finest education to its students.

 Healthcare Information Exchange (HIE) is the electronic exchange of medical information across disparate systems such as hospital information systems, physician's offices, EMR systems, labs, imaging centers and even disease and vaccine registries. Dr. John Collins, a New College alumnus, will explain how the mobilization of healthcare information electronically across organizations within a community will improve quality and better patient outcomes. Not only do patients expect communication between treating physicians, but healthcare providers require useful information to accurately diagnose and render good care. Effective data exchange allows improvement in cost, quality, safety and efficiency.
