Eastern Michigan University's 2008 United Way campaign recently concluded. The campaign ran from Oct. 27 through Nov. 24, but donations are still being taken online at https://uwwc.unitedwayepledge.org/epledge/Begin.jsp?accountNumber=17095 through Dec. 31, 2008. The overall goal of $110,000 has not yet been met, but the weakening economy likely played a major role in donations being down. Eastern Michigan's campaign was co-chaired by Don Hazaert, assistant director, government relations & speical projects; and Jeffrey Schulz, program director, Community Leadership Fellows Program. Some major numbers from the campaign, as of Dec. 3, are:

Total raised $93,307

Total gifts 538

Leadership Givers 22 (at least a $1,000 donation)

Labor Leads 23 (at least a $500 donation)

Caring Club members 140 (at least an annual gift of $156 to the Washtenaw United Way Community Investment Fund or a combination of other options)
