Employees who wish to participate should follow the instructions provided in the emails. The campaign will conclude on Oct. 3. <\/p>\n<p>Recently, the United Way of the Midlands conducted a thorough process to assess the needs of the community and determine where funds are most needed. Details on the current priority funding areas can be found by clicking <a href=\"http:\/\/www.unitedwaymidlands.org\/issues-we-address\/\">here<\/a>.  <\/p>\n<p>Supporting the United Way is a great way to ensure your funds will be used to help address the biggest issues for people right here in this community.<br \/>\nUnited Way donations can be payroll deducted over the course of the year, with the first deduction beginning in January.  <\/p>\n<p>New this year, employees can opt to pay for their donation online with a credit or debit card.  Instructions for each payment option are provided as part of the online pledging process. <\/p>\n<p>To help meet the campaign goal and encourage participation, generous donors have provided several prizes as incentives. Employees of UNMC who pledge a minimum of $20 to the United Way during the first or second weeks of the campaign (Sept. 15-Sept. 28) will be entered into a drawing for a chance to win $100 Visa cash cards donated by Metro Health Services Federal Credit Union and a pair of Husker football tickets for the Oct. 25 game or the Nov. 1 game.<\/p>\n<p>Employees of UNMC who donate a minimum of $5 to the United Way are invited to a free ice cream social event on Sept. 26 from 2-3:30 p.m. in the Sorrell Center, second floor commons. To receive free ice cream, employees must show a printout receipt of their United Way pledge. <\/p>\n<p>The final week of the United Way campaign there will be additional drawings for gift cards from local businesses and all employees who donated will be eligible to win.  <\/p>\n<p>Drawings will take place each Friday at 4 p.m. Winners will be announced in UNMC Today the following Monday.<\/p>\n<p>Questions regarding the UNMC campaign should be directed to <a href=\"mailto:anna.kirshenbaum@unmc.edu\">Anna Kirshenbaum<\/a>.<\/p>\n<a rel=\"nofollow\"
