The 2014 Annual Giving Winter Campaign has launched with the following elements:

Mailing:  The Annual Giving Christmas mailing dropped November 21. The mailing was sent nonprofit standard, and began arriving in local mailboxes on November 24.

The mailing was sent to a total of 196,511 members of the Notre Dame Family.

Website & Email:  http://Christmas2014.nd.edu is the Christmas campaign website. It is live now. Please feel free to share! The website hosts a Christmas message from Fr. Jenkins, a video featuring a number of the Basilica choirs performing “O Holy Night”, and a link to a subsite with downloads of the Christmas image for mobile and desktop devices.

An email inviting them to view the site will be distributed to alumni, parents, and friends on Thursday, December 4.

This project was a success due to collaboration with a number of university partners and teammates. A huge thank you to the team that made the video production possible:

 Karen Kirner, Steve Warner and each of the musically talented students in Campus Ministry for their guidance and partnership.

 Beth Grisoli, Tony Fuller and LaKesha Walker in University Communications for their leadership on the website and video.

And, a big shout out to my teammates on the Annual Giving Strategic Marketing Operations team. Thank you, Robin Caldwell, Jim Gosz, Richard Kohler, Lori Rush, and Lindahl Wiegand for your guidance, continuous support, and content creation.
