Consider supporting this year’s UBC United Way campaign

At UBC, we are deeply committed to making a positive impact in our local communities.

In that spirit, we are pleased to announce that this year’s UBC United Way campaign officially launches on Thursday, October 9, in Vancouver and the Okanagan.

United Way British Columbia serves over 4.5 million people by strengthening vital services and connections that support people in need in our local communities.

As a member of the UBC community, you can help address critical issues affecting our neighbours by participating in the long-standing UBC tradition of supporting this great cause. Funds raised in our annual campaign support a range of programs that enhance community wellbeing, focusing on urgent response, children and youth, seniors, poverty, mental health, and food security.

Funds raised in your community go directly to supporting your community. That means funds raised on the Vancouver campus support the Lower Mainland and Fraser Valley region, and funds raised on the Okanagan campus support the Southern Interior Region.

We encourage you to show your support by becoming a donor for this campaign. On Thursday, October 9, you will receive an email from campaign@uwatwork.com inviting you to make a payroll pledge online.
