UAF meets United Way goal
February 8, 2013
From: Lael and Mark Oldmixon
During the past two years, it has been our great honor to serve as co-chairs of the
UAF/UA workplace campaign for the United Way of the Tanana Valley. We want to thank
the many faculty, staff and students who have generously contributed time, talents
and dollars to two very successful campaigns.
This year we set out to raise $70,000 and increase individual donors to 205. We are
pleased to say that UAF and Statewide surpassed these goals. We raised $70,052.62
through pledges and direct donations from 233 individuals and seven departmental events
or initiatives.
It is with great pride in the university community that we relay these numbers to
United Way of the Tanana Valley campaign chairs, Joane Johnson and John Ringstad.
As a community, we have shown that the university stands united for the agencies,
their clients and the people of the Tanana Valley.
Thank you!
