Telefund breaks all-time fundraising record
The Emory Annual Fund’s Telefund Office has raised an unprecedented $1 million from more than 10,100 pledges for fiscal year 2005, Associate Vice President of Annual Giving Francine Cronin announced. These figures are the highest in the Telefund’s 19-year history.

As of April 24, including matching gift dollars, the Telefund raised $1,057,905.82, an increase of 18.1 percent over FY04 figures. More than 35 percent of alumni, parents and friends contacted by the Telefund’s student representatives pledged. The 10,136 pledges represent a nearly 16 percent increase over the previous year. The average gift was $98.68.

Mark Aycock and Jennifer Hrastar have been named chief financial officers of Emory Hospitals and The Emory Clinic, respectively.

Both came to Emory in 1995, Aycock as first assistant administrator, then associate administrator of the hospitals; and Hrastar as a senior financial analyst in the Clinic, who was promoted to controller in 1997.
