UAF meets United Way goal

February 8, 2013

From: Lael and Mark Oldmixon

During the past two years, it has been our great honor to serve as co-chairs of the UAF/UA workplace campaign for the United Way of the Tanana Valley. We want to thank the many faculty, staff and students who have generously contributed time, talents and dollars to two very successful campaigns.

This year we set out to raise $70,000 and increase individual donors to 205. We are pleased to say that UAF and Statewide surpassed these goals. We raised $70,052.62 through pledges and direct donations from 233 individuals and seven departmental events or initiatives.

It is with great pride in the university community that we relay these numbers to United Way of the Tanana Valley campaign chairs, Joane Johnson and John Ringstad. As a community, we have shown that the university stands united for the agencies, their clients and the people of the Tanana Valley.

Thank you!
