Payroll Deduction Program is very important.  Any amount is helpful.  It is the easiest and best way to raise funds for the United Way.  As little as $1.00/pay for 26 pays = $26.00/year –  will buy a backpack with school supplies for one child in need.  This is an excellent way to support the United Way Campaign.  Our goal is to have 100% participation in the Payroll Deduction Program or one-time donations. 

Challenges this year are:

Challenge 1:         Any employee who participates in the Payroll Deduction Program or gives a one-time donation will have their name entered into the Parking Spot contest.  At the end of the campaign one name will be drawn from all who participated; Prize is a dedicated parking spot for one year in your area. Provided by Dalhousie Safety & Security.

Challenge 2:        The Department or Section with the highest percentage of employee participation will win “Coffee with the Dean”; Coffee and Mini Muffins, donated by Chartwells, will be supplied for a coffee break with the Dean after the campaign closes.

This should be a great campaign with lots to do and plenty of fun while helping a very worthwhile cause.  All money raised in Colchester County stays in Colchester County.

So Join In and Participate in the Dalhousie United Way Campaign 2013 – Together we can achieve our goal!!

Thank you,
