We’ve passed the halfway mark of our 2019 United Way campaign and with $430,000+ in donations to date, we’re more than halfway to our goal! In 2018, U of G raised the most per person of any university in Canada. Let’s do it again this year!

With just three weeks left in U of G’s 2019 campaign, the Gryphon track team invites you to race toward the finish with their 60 m Sprint Challenge.

The 60 m Sprint Challenge

All students, faculty and staff are invited to take part in the 60 m Sprint Challenge. Lace up your running shoes and compete against your colleagues and friends. Winners go on to face the varsity Gryphon track team.

When: Friday, November 15 – 2:30 p.m.

Where: Gryphon Field House

Who: Everyone is welcome! No racing experience required.

Cost: Minimum $2 donation to the United Way

Contact: Email Kyle Sinden (ksinden@uoguelph.ca) to participate

First-time Donors: Double Your Gift

New donors have an important incentive to give this year. A United Way supporter has committed to matching all donations from first-time donors and those who have not donated in the past two years up to a total of $20,000 for the University’s campaign. These donors can double their impact by simply submitting a completed pledge card.

Every dollar makes a difference

With the United Way, what’s raised local stays local and every dollar counts.
