A HELPING HAND: Eastern Michigan
University's
United Way campaign
recently launched, with a goal
to
raise $110,000. The campaign on
campus runs
through Nov. 24. |
Over the past year, United Way has focused its priorities
on supporting programs serving persons with the fewest
resources and experiencing the greatest need. Advancing
the common good in our community requires investment in
the building blocks for a good life — education,
income and health.
The United Way of Washtenaw County partners
with organizations that share their view that the way
to improve lives is by mobilizing the caring power of communities.
Working with strategic partners like EMU, United Way
continually looks for the most effective ways to help people
gain access to educational, economic and health-related
opportunities.
Eastern Michigan University is proud to be a partner in
creating lasting change right here in Washtenaw County.
EMU faculty, students and staff demonstrate the LIVE UNITED
spirit when we participate in the Day of Caring, speak
out about health and human services needs in our community,
or generously support United Way with our dollars.
United Way invites us all to LIVE UNITED. To reach beyond
ourselves and to GIVE, ADVOCATE and VOLUNTEER. Please
speak to your division's United Way representative to learn
how you can help or call (734) 487-7048.
Together, united, we can work to create opportunities
for a better life for all.
Warmest regards,
Don
Hazaert and Jeffrey
Schulz, Co-chairs, United Way Campaign
