Support the United Way Campaign

Dear Staff and Faculty,

Thank you to the 320 of you who supported Lawrence students on Giving Day last month! We are incredibly grateful for your contributions.

We now turn our attention to our annual United Way campaign. Check out the 2019 Campaign Video. It is sure to leave you feeling great about the impact we can make off-campus in the Fox Cities!

I invite you to join me in supporting United Way. If you didn’t give last year and give $52 this year ($2/per paycheck) you will be entered into a drawing for a Chevy Trax and kayak! Donors who did give last year only need to increase their total gift by $1 to qualify. 

Please email me with the amount you’d like to donate per payroll by Nov. 26. New pledges will begin Dec. 13 and run for 26 payrolls. You may also campus mail a check made out to United Way to me in Wilson House by Nov. 26.

Thank you for considering this giving opportunity as a way to support our community!
