May 2014 E-Newsletter 
The academic year may be over, but Madison House is still buzzing with activity during the summer. Read on to learn about what our student volunteers, alumni and staff are up to now!
Student Volunteer Receives Award
 
Congratulations to Michael Bugas, a Madison House volunteer with the Big Siblings Program, for receiving the Algernon Sydney Sullivan Award at the 2014 Valedictory Exercises at the University of Virginia! The award honors two U.Va. fourth-year students who have demonstrated character, integrity and service. Michael's volunteer work with his "little brother" was cited as a key reason for why he was chosen for the award.

Give4Good Success Story
 
On May 6, Madison House supporters donated more than $2,600 during Give4Good, a one-day online giving event organized by the Charlottesville Area Community Foundation to promote philanthropy in Charlottesville. In total, the day raised more than half a million dollars for local nonprofits, including many of Madison House's community partners.
 
Madison House Receives Grant

Madison House has received a generous grant from the Lewis G. Schaeneman Foundation. The grant will provide much needed technology updates and repairs for the Heating Ventilation and Air Conditioning unit at Madison House. The staff and student volunteers at Madison House are very thankful to the Schaeneman Foundation for their continued support!

The 2014 Alumni of the Year

The Madison House Alumni Council has recognized Geoff Johnson as the 2014 Alumni of the Year. Geoff's dedication to Madison House and its mission since graduating from U.Va in 2010 has been extraordinary. Geoff currently works as an analyst with the U.S. Department of State and is an active member of the MH Alumni Network of DC.

 
There is just over a month left in the fiscal year! Please consider making a gift to Madison House before June 30 to help support our thousands of volunteers and student leaders. As an independent non-profit organization, Madison House receives no funding directly from the University of Virginia. We rely on the support of our alumni and friends to pursue our mission.
