SUPPORT THE CAMPAIGN FOR OUR COMMUNITY
Last year, the University community contributed more than $370,000 to support local charities and agencies through the Campaign for our Community initiative. This year’s goal is $400,000. “We appreciate those who already contribute generously and encourage those who haven’t participated in the past to consider making a minimum donation of $2 a paycheck through payroll deduction,” says Lisa Arbon Tagge, this year’s campaign chair. “What would $2 a paycheck do for any of the 121 nonprofit organizations the University supports within the campaign?” she asks. The total yearly contribution would provide a week’s supply of food for one family at the food bank, make possible food and refuge for a cat or dog at the Wasatch Humane Shelter, or send two kids to Camp Hobe for a day. “A little bit from everyone will allow us to reach our goal,” she says.
If you would like to make a donation, go to Campaign for our Community and fill in the pledge form. Print, sign, and send a copy via campus mail to 135 Park Bldg. You can also contribute with cash, check, or credit card.
“A lot of you already give to our community in many ways,” says Arbon Tagge. “Please join us by contributing a little more. Together let’s continue to demonstrate how the University of Utah supports our community.”
