Vacation day draw to highlight United Way campaign launch

University of Windsor employees have a chance to win an extra day’s vacation during an event to kick off the campus United Way campaign on Monday, November 5.

Officials will raise the charity’s flag on the west terrace outside Chrysler Hall Tower beginning at 10 a.m. The event will also feature free coffee and doughnut bites and will relocate to the CAW Student Centre Commons in case of inclement weather.

Faculty and staff members will soon receive an e-mail donation request as well as a paper pledge card. United Way works in Windsor-Essex to reduce poverty, support children and families, and build strong communities. Learn more at www.weareunited.com.
