On Tuesday, we proudly launched our annual campuswide campaign<\/a> to support the Heart of Missouri United Way. Our ambitious goals build on past successes and create new opportunities to advance United Way\u2019s important mission.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Heart of Missouri United Way invests more than $2 million annually to support the health, education and well-being of every person in Columbia and beyond. Nearly a fourth of all local residents benefit from their work, which unites organizations and resources to create lasting change and build an even stronger community.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

During last year\u2019s campaign, Mizzou students, faculty, staff and retirees raised more than $500,000<\/a>. This year, we\u2019re coming together to once again raise $500,000 and involve at least 1,200 supporters \u2013 setting a new record for participation. We\u2019re off to a great start, with more than $3,000 contributed the first day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The campaign runs until Friday, December 12. Please visit the campaign website<\/a> to show your support, and thank you for making a difference for our friends and neighbors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
