UAF United Way campaign committee looking for volunteers

UAF Chancellor Brian Rogers has challenged the UAF community to increase its giving to the United Way by 10 percent, which sets the goal at just over $70,000. UAF United Way campaign chairs Mark and Lael Oldmixon are looking for dedicated volunteers to assist with reaching this goal.

One third of Fairbanks community residents will need help from a United Way member agency in their lifetime. If you've benefited from United Way or a member agency, the committee chairs would like to hear from you.

The United Way of Tanana Valley has set its goal this year to increase the number of contributors from 2,600 to 3,200. UAF employees can help meet this goal.

If you fill out a United Way form and return it to UAF HR by Nov. 12 and you will be entered to win a great prize, including family season passes to Nanook hockey, basketball and volleyball games, or a UAF parking pass for one year. The drawing Chili Cook-off, which will take place at noon Nov. 15 in the Wood Center multilevel lounge. Contact Student Activities at 474-7037, if you're interested in participating.
