Canisius College United Way Campaign Begins

by | Sep 19, 2011 | Faculty, Staff

Message from Ellen O. Conley, PhD, vice president, student affairs

The Canisius College United Way Campaign will begin today (September 19) and will run through Wednesday October 19.  The college’s goal is $30,000 and with everyone’s help, we will be able to meet our goal for the 12th consecutive year.

The United Way of Buffalo and Erie County exists to bridge the gap between those who need help and those who want to help.  Envelopes containing pledge forms will be in faculty and staff mailboxes or delivered to offices.  Those who do not receive a pledge form and wish to contribute to the campaign may contact Pat Brawn or Judy Bruce in OM 102 or at Ext. 2130.  It doesn’t matter how much you give as long as you contribute something to help those who are less fortunate.
