The running total

As of 3 p.m. Monday, UNMC achieved:

Donations of $60,469.56, more than 40 percent of the campaign goal of $150,000. (Leadership on UNMC’s campus contributed more than $29,000 in leadership giving campaign that began last week.)
Employee participation of 11.9 percent. Last year, there was 47 percent participation — this year’s goal is 50 percent. Remember, using the UNMC eServ website to choose not to donate counts as participation!

A "no-pledge" option is available online for employees who choose not to donate. If you're unable to contribute, you still are encouraged to access the website and submit the "no donation" response to be eligible for the prize drawings.

Employees can contribute to a host of United Way-supported area organizations or can contribute directly to the campaign, which helps support hundreds of health and human service programs across the Omaha-Council Bluffs-Bellevue area.

Pledge by 4 p.m Friday to be eligible for the first weekly prize drawing, which will be held each Friday during the campaign. Among the prizes available during this year's drawings are tickets to two Nebraska football games.
