Madonna U. Receives Donation from PRCUA

On June 21, 2008, Sr. Rose Marie Kujawa, CSSF, President of Madonna University in Livonia, MI, addressed the PRCUA Board of Directors at the Home Office in Chicago, IL. She thanked them for initiating a Matching Money Campaign to benefit the University’s Leading the Way Campaign. The goal of the campaign is the construction of a new academic building.

The PRCUA agreed to match members’ donations up to $10,000 and to donate the money toward Cardinals Square. Walter Knysz, a PRCUA member and Chair of the Foundation Board at Madonna U., pledged $15,000 towards Cardinals Square to increase the PRCUA challenge gift matching fund total from $10,000 to $25,000.

Sr. Rose Marie told the PRCUA Board of Directors that the University wants to “give back” to the PRCUA. She suggested encouraging their students to become members and deputies and also by allowing PRCUA to use MU’s television studio for videotaping. She offered to allow the Polish Roman Catholic Union of America to use the facility’s meeting rooms to train new agents.

Pres. Ozog added that Sister Kujawa agreed to inform MU employees of PRCUA annuity products in light of the upcoming IRS regulation changes that would allow them to transfer their pension benefits at the PRCUA.

President Ozog then presented Sr. Kujawa with a check for $5,000 from Michigan Friends of the Cardinal of Detroit.

President Wallace and First Lady Joann Ozog are Honorary Chair - Cabinet Members of the University’s Leading the Way Campaign.

PRCUA Vice President Robert Bielenda is a very active Madonna University Foundation Board Member who promotes the University whenever he can.

Recently Sr. Rose Marie Kujawa joined the PRCUA. The oldest Polish American Catholic fraternal in the US - PRCUA - extends a hearty welcome to Sister Rose Marie Kujawa and hopes that other fraternal organizations will also jump of the University’s band wagon by assisting Madonna University in this most worthwhile endeavor.
