Change starts here. The United Way campaign committee for UBC’s Okanagan campus has begun work on the 2011 campaign with an ambitious goal: to raise $55,000 for the United Way of the Central and South Okanagan Similkameen.

Through special events, employee payroll deductions and donations, UBC asks that the campus community please consider supporting the 2011 campaign.

The 2011 Walk-Thru Breakfast held on September 29 was the campaign kick-off event for campus and more than $1,500 was raised. The campaign committee would like to thank the event sponsors: Claremont Ranch Organics, Quality Greens, Safeway, Cinnzeo, Fezziwig’s Artisan Bakery-Café, The Bread Company and Cherry Hill Coffee.

Fun Fact: The Okanagan campus campaign has run every year since 2005 and over that time more than $260,000 has been raised.
