We haven’t quite reached our campus United Way campaign fundraising goal of $65,000, but we are close – so close. As of today (Friday, November 30), we are at 84% of our goal, with $54,315 pledged. We have heard from 236 donors in our campus community so far, with 54 people taking action for the very first time to support the United Way’s valuable work throughout our community. While those are really terrific statistics, it’s still the fact that less than 14% of our campus community has so far stepped up to provide their support for this important community effort. Remember that a gift of any amount is appreciated – please let it be your gift in the campus mail next week that puts us over the top!
