Western’s 2012 United Way campaign officially launched this morning – literally – as paper airplanes took flight in helping announce the university’s $727,000 fundraising goal.
Last year, Western raised a record-breaking $716,632 on behalf of 1,300 faculty, staff, retirees and students who contributed to making it the largest donation ever received by the local United Way, and marking the university as the largest per capita workplace donor across Canada for postsecondary institutions.
Pledge forms were distributed across campus this week, with numerous fundraising events and initiatives gearing up over the next couple months. If pledge forms are returned to employee campaign coordinators by Nov. 9 you will qualify for a number of Early Bird prizes.
