... we are so, so, SO close to making our goal for the Ithaca College United Way campaign for this year. As of today (Friday, December 14), we stand at $60,726 raised - a little over 93% of our goal of $65,000. 261 members of our campus community have stepped forward to support the campaign - 23% of them first-time givers! - but this means that still only a little over 15% of our campus community has so far taken action. Let's finish out the Fall semester and head into the winter break with the satisfaction of knowing we have met our campaign goal for this year. We can easily hit that mark if everyone out there who hasn't yet made a donation - and a gift of ANY amount is truly welcomed! - decides to take that step toward making a positive contribution to our local community.
