United Way campaign is underway

November 26, 2014

Carla Browning

UAF will participate in the campaign to raise funds for the United Way of the Tanana Valley. By supporting the United Way, we can make sure help is there when it is needed.

The Community Care Fund is distributed among the 21 United Way agencies. These organizations focus on education, income, health and crisis intervention. The Substance Abuse Fund supports projects and programs that offer preventive solutions to drug and alcohol abuse in our community.

Forms should be arriving in your in-boxes soon. Not everyone can give at the same level, but your gift can really make a difference in our community. Find out more!

Here are just a few of the ways you can participate.

Make a contribution for a chance to win
Students, faculty or staff who contribute to the UAF United Way campaign before Dec. 16 will be entered into a drawing to win the following prizes:

• ipad mini


• annual parking permit


• one-year membership to SRC (faculty and staff)

Contribute online.

Host a special event
Hosting a special event in your department is a great way to participate and helps bring awareness to United Way services and the member agencies. Contact your co-chairs for some creative ideas.

Host a United Way presentation
