It has been proven that shorter fundraising initiativesgarner superior results, improving participation and the resultingbottom line.
Last year we surpassed our campaign goal. Dalhousie's contribution brought in $176,805 to the United Way. Dalhousie's campaign total was the second largest in the public sector and fourth largest overall in the community.
This year we have set the 2004 target at $180,000 - a lofty goal which can only be achieved with your support. Get involved, enjoy the festivities and help to realize our goal. Remember, we're contributing to our community because we live here. Let's all help build a stronger community!
