Dear members of the Canisius College community,
Each year, we at Canisius College have a unique opportunity to improve the quality of life in our community through our United Way Campaign. I am asking you to help our friends and neighbors in need by making a personal pledge to United Way this year.
Through your generosity, United Way brings people, organizations and resources together to improve community well-being. Your contribution will be invested in local programs to ensure that children and youth reach their full potentials; families attain financial stability and independence; and people of all ages are healthy and safe. When you give to United Way, you are helping to build a better community. The United Way Campaign is an easy, convenient way to make a difference in our community.
This year, Canisius will be conducting our campaign online and paper-free. Click here to make a donation. Select “Get a Password” to begin. All those who donate at least $1 per week will be automatically entered into United Way’s daily drawings and their 16 grand prize drawings as well. Please give as generously as you can. Consider the positive changes that can happen and make an investment in United Way. Thank you.
Very truly yours,
John J. Hurley
