I want to thank all of our generouscontributors who are listed at theappropriate donor levels in the box.A number of our members have trulygone “above and beyond” in theirsupport of the campaign. PBS&J, forinstance, has not only made a five-yearpledge but has paid it in full, well beforeit was required to do so.Randy Larson explains his company’saction this way: “We just wanted tomake a difference. We feel we haveenjoyed tremendous success from ourcorporate commitment to CMAA interms of Professional Developmentand other benefits, and supporting theFoundation is a way for us to step up, to‘put our money where our mouth is.’”Funds raised by this campaign willhelp us:• Continue our annual nationalscholarship program;• Provide meaningful research anddevelopment; andoffenders for life outside prison, duringtheir last 12 months of incarceration.
