On September 23 Governor Sonny Perdue, the Honorary Campaign Chair of the 2008-09 State Charitable Contributions, recognized 22 top contributing state agencies, colleges and universities by presenting Governor’s Cup, Governor’s Awards, and Commissioner’s Awards. The 2008-09 campaign raised over $2.7 million to support charitable organizations serving Georgians and individuals in need overseas.
