The 2008 UNMC United Way campaign starts today.
To show the importance of donating to the United Way, UNMC Today will run a series of stories throughout the campaign featuring organizations affiliated with UNMC that receive support from United Way funds.
The following is the schedule of the upcoming stories and the featured organizations:
- Tuesday, Oct. 14 — American Diabetes Association;
- Thursday, Oct. 16 — Write-in agencies;
- Tuesday, Oct. 21 — Big Brothers Big Sisters; and
- Thursday, Oct. 23 — American Cancer Society.
“These stories will really personalize the United Way for faculty and staff members,” said Mary McNamee, Ph.D., assistant vice chancellor for academic affairs and campus chairwoman for this year’s United Way campaign. “They will illustrate how the organizations that we donate to really affect people’s lives.”
Employees should receive usernames and passwords in their UNMC e-mail accounts today that will allow them to donate to United Way online.
