United Way campaign a third of the way to goal

It's week No. 3 in Rice's 2009-10 United Way campaign, and the Rice community has achieved 35 percent of the $125,000 campaign goal. Pledges and contributions have ranged in size from $5 to $1,000. With seven weeks remaining in the campaign, the President/Provost Division leads the campus in funds raised with $8,158, and the Investments Division leads in participation, with 60 percent.

In these challenging and uncertain times, the community has never needed the United Way more, and the United Way has never had a greater need for strong support from Rice. To make your pledge via automatic payroll deductions throughout 2010, or contribute by cash, check or credit card in the 2009 tax year, visit www.rice.edu/unitedway.
