FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. – The U of A Global Campus is presenting a fun way to enjoy Halloween and help children in Northwest Arkansas at the same time. Global Campus is hosting its indoor Halloween 2018 Fall Fair and Haunted Hallway from 3:30 to 5 p.m. Wednesday, Oct. 31 – that’s today -- whatever the weather. 

The Fall Fair will be located in the second floor lobby of the Global Campus building at 2 E. Center Street, while the Haunted Hallway can be found on the first floor  -- a.k.a. “The Dungeon” -- of the building.

The event is free – but donations to the U of A United Way campaign are welcome.

There will be candy as well as family and child friendly activities, including games, a photo booth, face painting, and storytelling, to name a few.

Today is the final day of the U of A United Way campaign – for those who’ve been waiting until the last minute to turn in a donor card – it’s here, go for it. Your unit campaign volunteer may be sending a reminder – but if not, you can track them down here – a full list is available.

If you don’t want to use a donor card that same link will also take you to the handy “Donate Now” button on our website – which in turn is your link to our safe and secure online donation site.

We’re a little more than halfway to our $125,000 goal, so any donation will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks to all who gave – and to all who give. The children living in poverty in Northwest Arkansas are the ones who will benefit from your generosity when We’re United in giving.
