\"United<\/a>Dear Colleagues,<\/p>\n

The United Way campaign for 2016 is about to launch at UFV, marking the 33rd<\/sup> consecutive year of staff and faculty support for the United Way.<\/p>\n

We both give personally to this campaign. Will you give, too?<\/em><\/p>\n

Join us, along with Chilliwack Mayor Sharon Gaetz and Abbotsford Mayor Henry Braun, for the United Way Fraser Valley\u2019s free pancake breakfast kickoff events at UFV.<\/p>\n

CHILLIWACK PANCAKE BREAKFAST
\nMonday, Sept 12, 7-8:30 am<\/strong>
\nUFV Trades and Technology Centre (Building T), Parking Lot 1, 5579 Tyson Road<\/p>\n

ABBOTSFORD PANCAKE BREAKFAST
\nTuesday, Sept 13, 7-8:30 am<\/strong>

United Way of the Fraser Valley supports more than 25 community partners and programs from Aldergrove to Boston Bar, serving a population of a quarter of a million people. The dollars raised here stay in our community. Each year 1 in 3 people in the Fraser Valley<\/strong> benefit from a United Way program. The United Way aims to build strong communities, help kids be all they can be, and move people from poverty to possibility.<\/p>\n

This year\u2019s goal is for UFV to raise $25,000 for the United Way. Together, we can do this!<\/em><\/p>\n

UFV faculty and staff have a proud history of supporting this worthwhile appeal, meeting the challenge of supporting various community agencies via the United Way. Through this campaign, you can designate your gift to a specific United Way agency of your choice, or to any registered charity. You can choose to make a one-time donation, or sign up to give through payroll donations.<\/p>\n

If you wish to join us in personally supporting this worthy cause, please complete this fillable pledge form<\/a><\/strong> and return it to Human Resources in Abbotsford by Friday, September 30<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

As an added incentive, we have assembled some great prizes.<\/strong> All those contributing will have their name entered for the prize draws. And, new this year<\/strong>, the UFV area that has the highest percentage of donors will earn a $1,000 award for a<\/strong> UFV student<\/strong>! Stay tuned for more details on this wonderful opportunity for a UFV student to also benefit from your team\u2019s generosity to the United Way.<\/p>\n

Thank you, from both of us. We hope to see you at the breakfasts.<\/p>\n
