UVic 2011 United Way Campaign

 

UVic 2011 United Way campaign

Thank you, UVic community! The final fundraising tally for the 2011 UVic United Way campaign came in at $271,165, with $36,641 raised at on-campus events from July through December. The campaign also welcomed 62 new donors.

“The generous sponsors and large team of volunteers from the UVic community—the committee members, event coordinators and participants—should be very proud,” says UVic campaign chair Charles McQuade. “Our fundraising efforts help the United Way make a huge difference in our community each and every year.”

As one of the largest supporters of the United Way of Greater Victoria, UVic has pledged to fund critical services that support our community. Since 2005, the UVic community has raised over $2 million (and counting!) for the United Way.

Change starts here

One person in three is helped by a United Way-funded agency or program in Victoria. The generosity of campus community members will help change the future for those whose challenges are too great to face alone.

The United Way of Greater Victoria is touching lives by funding real solutions to real challenges. Some of the local programs we fund help provide people with the resources they need to move out of poverty. Others help individuals to stay healthy and build strong community connections. We are also funding programs that help children to grow up strong and happy.
