Each year, the 91亚色 U community comes together in support of the United Way. The 2017 91亚色 Cares United Way Campaign launched Tuesday, Oct. 31 with the President鈥檚 Pancake Breakfast.
91亚色 President and Vice-Chancellor Rhonda L. Lenton and the University鈥檚 senior leadership team volunteered their time at the event as celebrity chefs. They displayed their best flapjack-flipping skills as they made pancakes for hungry students, faculty and staff.

Attendees paid two dollars for fresh pancakes prepared by the senior administration with help from Aramark Food Services staff. Aramark Food Services donated all the pancake ingredients and garnishes, so all proceeds from the event will go directly to the 2017 91亚色 Cares United Way Campaign.
The fun continues on Saturday, Nov. 4 with the annual CN Tower Climb. 91亚色 faculty, staff and students have been active participants in the climb. This year, teams have been asked to register under "91亚色" before Nov. 1. If they do so, they will receive a 91亚色 U T-shirt to ensure that the red and white spirit is heard loud and proud.
There is still time to register for the climb, just be sure that 91亚色 is the 鈥渨orkplace to credit鈥 and "91亚色U" is in the team name.
For questions, or to make arrangements to pick up your T-shirt, e-mail Nadia Dar at nadiadar@yorku.ca.聽And don鈥檛 forget to share your photos using the hashtag #yucares.
91亚色 U faculty, staff and students are encouraged to get engaged in the campaign by joining in at one of the events being held on campus by volunteering as a campaign ambassador, or by organizing a special event.
