Last Chance to Donate to U of A’s United Way Campaign
FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. – The U of A’s “Hogs United” fundraising campaign for the United Way of Northwest Arkansas is in its final days. So far faculty, staff and administrators on campus have pledged almost $100,000 towards the campaign goal of $130,000.
All university employees have received personalized email appeals, providing a secure, personal link to the United Way website. Donations can be made by cash, check, or payroll deductions. Anyone who prefers to pledge through a paper form can contact Debbie McLoud at dmcloud@uark.edu to request the form.
This is the 78th year for a United Way campaign on the University of Arkansas campus, but only the second year for the eco-friendly, easy to use online-giving format. Besides providing a way to contribute, the link to the United Way website also offers information about the United Way of Northwest Arkansas and the 67 agencies and 100 programs it supports. All are aimed at making lives better in the areas of education, income and health. Donations can be made to the United Way or specifically to any of the individual agencies. Members of the campus community who live outside Northwest Arkansas also have the option of supporting their local United Way.
