United Way: It's Not Too Late to Make a Pledge

As Yale’s 2005-2006 United Way campaign nears the finish line, more than $718,000 in pledges and matching funds has been raised from over 2,358 employees, retirees, and students. This is a welcome increase in donors from last year's 1,247 at this time. The amount pledged so far is a hopeful sign that the million-dollar goal is possible, but there is still a way to go. (Last year Yale raised $900,000 from 1,458 members of the Yale community.) 

Even though November has passed, it’s never too late to donate to this worthy cause.  Judith Hackman, chair of the campaign for Yale, urges those who haven't yet made a pledge to take advantage of this opportunity to improve lives in the New Haven community.  For more information or to pledge online, please visit the Yale United Way website at www.yale.edu/unitedway.
