Even before the United Way’s campus campaign kick-off Oct. 7, first-year
Forestry students had raised $800 by selling apples.
Campaign Chair Peter Nault of Plant Operations says he has no doubt that UBC
will meet its goal of raising $310,000.
Throughout the campaign, a variety of events and give-aways are being held
campus-wide.
Proceeds of faculty and staff tickets sales to the Oct. 17 football match
against the Alberta Golden Bears will go to the United Way thanks to UBC
Athletics. The game starts at 7 p.m.
On Oct. 21 the First Nations House of Learning hosts a lunchtime salmon
barbecue.
All donors will have a chance to win the grand prize of a trip for two to any
Canadian Airlines North American destination.
Besides helping 500,000 people in local communities, the United Way directs
donations designated to more than 1.000 registered charities throughout Canada
at no cost.
