The Ithaca College United Way Campaign Kick Off

11/15/16

Contributed on behalf of Nancy Pringle and Brian Dickens

We are fortunate to live in an area that embodies an inviting sense of community. It is with this sense of community that Ithaca College kicks off our annual United Way Campaign. In keeping with the United Way mission of “improving lives by mobilizing the caring power of our communities,” this year our goal is $31,000! These contributions will help improve the quality of life for individuals and families by providing our community with a wide breadth of support opportunities. As community members, we all see the impact of when we pull together to support the needs of our local community whether it be in the City of Ithaca, Tompkins County or in other surrounding counties where our employees reside. Here is our chance to help. 

Tomorrow you will receive an email with information about accessing this online donation system. After you first change your password and then login, please review your personal information for accuracy; contact Katie Sack with any changes or corrections you need to make. Please use the online pledge form to review your options for contributing to the United Way, giving thoughtful consideration about the level of support you can offer UWTC this year.

Remember, you have a number of options about how to donate. You can specify a gift to:

• UWTC’s Community Care Fund, offering United Way the most flexibility in using your gift. Targeted special initiatives of Hunger and Food Security or Urgent Rx Prescription.
• Any of the more than 40 UWTC partner agencies or community councils that might be of personal importance to you and your family.
• The United Way in your home county or another non-profit organization (please see the drop-down menu of some options or add the name of your preferred recipient organization).
• The Ithaca College Student United Way, our own student philanthropic organization, which is also listed as an option in the drop-down menu of specific agencies on the pledge form. 

Your contribution will support the building blocks of better lives and stronger communities: a quality education that leads to a stable job, enough income to support a family through retirement, and good health. Our community needs your help!

Thank you in advance for your support.
