A campus-wide celebration kicked off the Dalhousie United Way Campaign this past week. Volunteers from across the university handed out sweets and information from the LSC to the Killam Library and the Sexton Alumni Lounge.
This yearÕs campaign brings a convenient new method of giving. For the first time at Dal, donors can use online giving to make their donation. Earlier in the week, campaign co-chairs Anne Fenety and John Sherwood sent out a message containing a link to a personalized donation form that is quick, easy and secure. (Those who wish to donate in paper form can still do so).
Dalhousie is recognized as a community leader, and our important role in supporting the United Way has been recognized. Last year, the university ranked third in the list of United Way Leaders with 60 pledges.
Building on that success, this yearÕs campaign focuses on participation through the theme of ÒYou + 2 = DalhousieÕs Goal,” with the hopes of boosting the involvement of the Dalhousie community. The university aims to raise $204,000 to help those most in need.
