Today is the final day of the 2017 UNMC United Way campaign. Let’s make it count.
When you give to United Way, you’re making a difference in the lives of thousands of people in our very own neighborhoods. More than 12 percent of people in Omaha-Council Bluffs live in poverty.
If you need more of an incentive, at 4 p.m. today, the UNMC United Way committee will draw prize winners for the final week of the campaign. Prizes this week include:
- A $25 Amazon Gift Card
- A $25 Starbucks Gift Card
- A $25 AMC Gift Card
- A $50 Target Gift Card
- A pair of Husker tickets to the Northwestern vs. Nebraska football game on Nov. 4.
Employees of UNMC who pledge a minimum of $20 (only $1.67 per month) to the United Way campaign will be eligible for the prizes listed above. You can log into eServ and make a pledge by 4 p.m. today to be included in the drawing.
