At West Virginia University, we understand the importance of living united. Service is part of our identity.
I believe it is important to continue that tradition and I hope you will join me as we continue to support the good work of our local United Way.
The agencies supported by the United Way make our communities better places to live by helping those who live among us who cannot help themselves. Their staffs and volunteers work hard every day to address the issues associated with lower incomes, illness, illiteracy, domestic violence, homelessness, isolation, and other tough issues faced by members of our community.
Those of us privileged to work at WVU can join as a team and demonstrate our caring by contributing to our campaign. Last year, WVU faculty and staff – along with retirees and students – were the largest contributors to the United Way of Monongalia and Preston County.
The agencies of the United Way are all doing amazing things for the people of their communities every day. They are living united and creating better lives for all residents of our community and I ask you to join me in supporting them.
Our goal this year is to raise $300,000 from the WVU community. I want to see many new members on our team and I want you to be one of them. If you have been part of the effort in the past, please consider increasing your support. If you are new to the efforts, I encourage you to review the agencies, visit the website, and join the campaign for a brighter tomorrow. We need you to make this year a success!
Each gift, large or small, is important. Our United Way team is made up of people from all walks of life – all working to make life better for others. I hope you will join me and help WVU LIVE UNITED!
