Yesterday, I was part of the kick-off event for our annual United Way campaign. Leaders from across campus joined our partners from Heart of Missouri United Way and Leadership Circle donors at the Stephens Indoor Facility to celebrate our impact and encourage others to support the campaign. 

We’ve collaborated with Heart of Missouri United Way for more than 75 years, and these campaigns help give back to some of the most vulnerable in our area. Last year we raised more than $436,000, and I know we can reach this year’s ambitious goal of $460,000. Your support will be put to good use because 99 cents of every dollar donated stays in Missouri. 

Mizzou and United Way share a mission of service and dedication to our community. It’s what makes our partnership so strong and their work so important. I hope you’ll join me in supporting this year’s campaign.
