United Way, Day 12: Ice cream social today

Get your spoons, and appetites, ready.

Employees of UNMC who have donated a minimum of $5 to the United Way are invited to a free ice cream social event from 2 to 3:30 p.m. today, in the Sorrell Center, second floor commons. To receive free ice cream, employees must show a printout receipt of their United Way pledge (or you can show the receipt on your mobile device). Bring $1 bills to donate for EXTRA toppings.

If you have not yet donated, donations of at least $5 also will be accepted at the social.

In addition, the UNMC United Way committee will draw prize winners for the second week of the campaign at 4 p.m. today.

This week’s prizes include:

  • Two Husker football tickets to the Oct. 25 game vs Rutgers.
  • One $100 Visa cash card.

The running total

As of noon Thursday, UNMC achieved:

  • Donations of $124,219, more than 80 percent of the campaign goal of $150,000.
  • Employee participation of 36 percent. This year’s employee participation goal is 50 percent. Remember, using the UNMC eServ website to choose not to donate counts as participation!

Employees of UNMC who pledge a minimum of $20 to the United Way campaign will be eligible for the prizes above. You can log into eServe and make a pledge by 4 p.m. today to be included in the drawing.

All participants in the United Way campaign are eligible for prizes in the final week’s drawing. Remember, you do not have to make a donation in order to participate!
