\"Lifesaver<\/a>There\u2019s still time for you to support UFV students by giving back to UFV through the Lifesaver campaign. And if you sign up for payroll deduction donations or make a one-time donation by Oct 31, 2015, an anonymous donor will match your gift.<\/p>\n

The Bookstore will be highlighting the Lifesaver campaign at its Customer Appreciation Day on Wed, Oct 28, and will announce the grand total raised through proceeds of sales of special notebooks, UFV hoodies, and Sodexo purchases so far. Check out the lunchtime Bookstore fashion show for the update.<\/p>\n

An initiative of UFV\u2019s Advancement office, the Lifesaver campaign<\/a> gives UFV employees a conduit to support emergency bursaries for UFV students. There are a variety of ways to donate: one-time gift, payroll deduction, or supporting special offers by Sodexo in the Cascade Caf\u00e9 in Abbotsford and by the UFV Bookstore<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe all support students through our day-to-day work activity at UFV \u2014 it\u2019s the core of our reason for being here,\u201d notes advancement officer Sheila Reimer<\/strong>, who is administering the campaign. \u201cThe Lifesaver campaign gives employees the chance to take things a step further and support students who find themselves in a situation requiring emergency funding. The more employees who participate, the more support we can provide for students in their time of need.\u201d<\/p>\n

Reimer notes that one goal of the campaign this year is to increase the number of employees who give through regular payroll deductions.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s easy to sign up for payroll deduction, and it\u2019s a convenient way to meet your philanthropic goals without having to get out your cheque book or credit card,\u201d she says.<\/p>\n

If you would rather see your gift support a particular UFV scholarship or initiative, that can be arranged through the Lifesaver campaign as well.<\/p>\n
