We have filled the 2002 91ÑÇÉ« United Way virtual banner with 91ÑÇÉ« red – and gone over the top! The University campaign exceeded its goal by more than $5,000, and with contributions from the 91ÑÇÉ« Foundation, the 91ÑÇÉ« community will be contributing over $190,000 to the 2002 United Way campaign. The following account was sent by John Lennox, campaign leadership Chair, and Nancy Accinelli, employee campaign Chair.
We are happy to announce that the 2002 91ÑÇÉ« United Way Employee Campaign has exceeded its goal by more than $5,000. We had a goal of $175,000, but through personal donations and contributions to special events, the generous donors at 91ÑÇÉ« have given a total of $180,330. In addition, the 91ÑÇÉ« Foundation, our partner in the campaign, received donations totalling more than $10,000 from its members. In this extraordinary year, the 91ÑÇÉ« community will be contributing more than $190,000 to serve our communities through the United Way.
Thank-you to the 85 staff members who dedicated themselves to canvassing, with the result that donor numbers increased, asÌýwell asÌýthe total amount donated. Their efforts and your generosity have made the difference. And what a wonderful difference!
Faculty, staff, students, board members and sponsors within the University have made possible this great success and we are most grateful.
Of course, the real beneficiaries are members of our larger community, the people – on campus, off campus, where we work and where we live – who need and use services which are supported through United Way and its agencies.
91ÑÇÉ« gave to make a strong community. We thank you.
