You can still participate in the final days of the United Way campaign
November 15, 2011
The United Way campaign is coming to a close! UAF's participation in the United Way
campaign is critically important to our neighbors in the ÌÇÐÄvlog¹ÙÍø community. As one
of the largest employers in the area, UAF staff have traditionally been one of the
largest groups of donors during the campaign.
You should have received a pledge form — if you haven't, please contact Lael Oldmixon
at 474-6679.
Here's what you can do to help:
- Emphasize to the employees in your department the importance of their donation to the United Way and to the ÌÇÐÄvlog¹ÙÍø community.
- Payroll deduction is an option and makes donating much easier. Staff can simply fill out the pledge form and return it to Human Relations via the PPA in your department.
- Encourage your colleagues to attend the Chili Cook Off! Tickets are $5 for 5 tastings and $10 for 12 tastings. All proceeds will go to the United Way.
The Chili Cook Off will take place from noon - 2 p.m., Tuesday, Nov. 15, in the Wood Center. Pledge forms will be available during the Cook Off.
The most important thing you can do is to encourage 100% participation among your colleagues. It's not important how much is contributed, just that a contribution is made. Whatever amount is contributed will make a huge difference to a community member in need.
To request a presentation about the United Way during your next staff meeting, please contact Lael Oldmixon, lmoldmixon@alaska.edu or Mark Oldmixon, mtoldmixon@alaska.edu.
