As President Stoute mentioned in his Email on September 25, “to Find Your Way is to recognize and amplify the collective power we all have to make meaningful change in the community where we work and live.”

Canisius University is part of the fabric of this community and our ability to make a difference in Erie County remains constant. We have officially launched our United Way campaign.  With our support, the United Way and its affiliates can help create better lives for our neighbors in need.

Please know that you do have the ability to designate your favorite charity as the recipient of all or part of your donation.

Each week we will conduct a prize drawing from the list of donors. We have received gifts from the staff of Academic Affairs, Athletics, the Bookstore, the Library, PA Studies, Human Resources, and Institutional Advancement for you to choose from. The united way is also giving away PRIZES each week to donors who pledge just $1 a week; the grand prize is a pair of 2024 Buffalo Bills Home Game Season Tickets!

Our first 2023 Campaign Event will be a CHILI COOKOFF on  Wednesday, October 25, 2023, from 12:00 – 1:30 p.m. in the Old Main Faculty Lounge.

Your $5.00 pledge will allow you to taste all chili entries and vote for the “Most Unique” and “Best All-Around” Chili recipe.

CROCK POTS OF CHILI NEEDED!

If you have a favorite chili recipe you want to share with the Canisius community, please consider entering it to win a prize and bragging rights!

To RSVP or Enter your Chili, please complete the form HERE or contact Maggie Burkard at Ext. 2120 or at burkardm@canisius.edu.
