Pitt’s United Way of Allegheny County campaign, which kicked off yesterday, Oct. 8, with a breakfast for volunteers, runs through Nov. 7.
Organizers hope 2014 will mark the fifth consecutive year that the University community breaks its own fundraising record. Last year’s efforts raised $665,001 in pledges from 2,505 Pitt employees, topping 2012’s contributions by more than $44,000.
This year’s campaign co-chairs are G. Reynolds Clark, chief of staff to Chancellor Patrick Gallagher and vice chancellor for external relations, and David Eibling, vice chair for education, Department of Otolaryngology, and assistant chief of surgery, VA Pittsburgh. They supervise a steering committee of 16 faculty and staff members who represent various departments across the University. In addition, there are about 400 fundraising coordinators and representatives spread across the campus.
Faculty and staff can make donations by logging on to my.pitt.edu and clicking the United Way donation button. Contributions also may be made by check or payroll deduction (a minimum of $2 a month is required).
