University of Florida Campaign for Charities
2012 Leadership Campaign: begins August 30th
2012 General Campaign: October 1st-October 30th
Each fall, UF sponsors the UF Campaign for Charities (UFCC) to raise money for nonprofit, health and human service oriented organizations in Gainesville and surrounding areas. The campaign allows employees to give to one or more campaign charities through payroll deduction, cash, check, or bank card.
Since 1993, the UFCC has provided employees with a convenient way to make a big difference in our community. In each of the last six years, the campaign has brought in more than $1,000,000.00 in contributions.
All money raised through the UFCC supports the work of agencies in our region that provide a wide variety of services ranging from child care, recreational opportunities, counseling, and legal help to environmental protection, disease prevention, and medical assistance. In addition, some of these agencies partner with UF through the funding of research projects focused on curing disease or improving the quality of life for those afflicted with disease.
The agencies in the UFCC cover such a wide spectrum of support services that it is likely that every one of us has been touched by at least one of these agencies.
We look forward to our 2012 Campaign and hope we will have a record setting year as UF gives back to our community.
