UBC United Way campaign co-chairs Margaret Sayer of University Computing
Services and Theatre Prof. Raymond Hall are reaching out to the extended campus
community for help in achieving the 1996 campus campaign goal of $290,260.
More than 6,600 UBC employees emeritii and retirees will be asked to join UBC
students, staff and faculty in the campaign that supports a broad spectrum of
the Lower Mainland’s charitable organizations.
Last year’s UBC campaign raised $274,000 towards a United Way 1995 total of
$20.8 million.
The United Way supports health care and rehabilitation services, crisis and
emergency services, care for seniors, community services, and provides
assistance to families and individuals through its 99 affiliated charitable
agencies.
The United Way also processes donations for more than 1,000 registered Canadian
charities when a donation is designated by a United Way donor. This service is
performed at no cost to the receiving charity and is a means through which the
United Way promotes philanthropy in Canadian society.
