Campus campaign for United Way tops fundraising target

University of Windsor contributions to the United Way have topped $100,000 for the seventh straight year, campaign volunteers learned Friday at a luncheon celebrating the 2012 fundraising results for the charity.

Staff, faculty and students donated a total of $106,530 through pledges, payroll deduction, and special projects like casual dress days and benefit barbecues.

Lorraine Goddard, director of community impact and development for the local United Way, said the organization is grateful for the support of the campus.
