David Pitts: Why I Participate in the Maryland Charity Campaign
October 13, 2025
“I’m proud to support the Maryland Charity Campaign each year because I believe in strengthening the communities where we live and work. Giving locally ensures that my contributions have a direct impact — providing food, shelter, education, health care, and hope to those who need it most.
“What I love about this campaign is the variety of organizations it supports. Whether your passion is helping children, protecting the environment, supporting veterans, or advancing education, there’s a place for your generosity.
“Even a small gift can make a big difference when we come together. Please consider joining me in giving to the causes that make Maryland stronger, more compassionate, and more resilient.”
— David Pitts, Assistant Dean for Informatics, School of Social Work
