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 the United Way this year.

Through your generosity, the 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 the 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.

As we did last year, Canisius will continue to conduct our campaign online and paper-free. Click here: https://uwbec.unitedwayepledge.org to begin pledge process. Detailed instructions are shown below for your reference. All those who donate at least $1 per week will be automatically entered into the United Way’s daily drawings and its 21 grand prize drawings, as well. Please consider the positive changes that can happen with an investment in the United Way and give as generously as you can. Thank you.

Very truly yours,

John J. Hurley
