The United Way Committee would like to remind you that our campaign will continue this year through Thanksgiving. Thank you to the 50 employees who already donated to this year’s campaign. With this support, Canisius College is already helping to make a big difference in the Buffalo community!
However, there is still work to be done to help us achieve our goal of 70 donors. As a reminder, a donation of as little as $1 per week can provide tax representation services for up to eight families. Two dollars per week can provide 10 hours of tutoring for 25 local children. Please consider making your online pledge today.
