Having wrapped up the 2004 UBC United Way Campaign, committee
members are looking back on the campaign and marveling at
success.
“We’ve had an excellent campaign in so many ways,”
says Stan Auerbach, the 2004 Campaign Chair. “This year’s
campaign saw 30 special events, nearly 50 awareness-raising
presentations to units across campus and over 200 faculty,
staff and student volunteers.”
“The campaign reached our goal of $525,000 for the
400 programs and services that United Way supports in our
communities,” says Auerbach. “A big thank you
to all the donors, volunteers, and community members who supported
this campaign and made it a success!”
At United Way’s Community Spirit Awards on Jan. 14,
UBC was awarded with an Exceptional Service Award in Organizational
Support.
“UBC has a long-standing relationship with United Way,”
says Eilis Courtney, director of UBC Ceremonies and Senior
Volunteer for the campaign. “We have been involved not
only by running an annual campaign, but also by supporting
the Loaned Representative program, hosting the annual United
Way Leadership Recognition Reception and participating in
the Days of Caring initiative. We were thrilled to receive
the award and look forward to continuing to partner with United
Way.”
