Special Events

Special events are a great way to raise awareness and encourage participation in the campaign – they’re also a great way to allow people not affiliated with the university to participate in the campaign. They are completely optional – but if you do want to plan one, there some examples of past events on our website that can provide creative inspiration.

Credit Card Processing for Special Events

The United Way of North Central Florida (the UFCC fiscal agent) will again provide credit card processing for special events. The United Way will set up individual special event pages that will allow us to track the donations by unit and will not result in fees for donors to use this service. You can also continue designating your special events funds to the agency or agencies of your choice. 

Please be sure to allow plenty of time for the page to be set up prior to your event.

If you need the ability to process credit card payments for your special events, please send the following information to Dana Clayton: dclayton@unitedwayncfl.org and the United Way will establish your page and provide you a link to use in your communications.

• Name of the event
• College or Departments (name and Dept ID)
• Dates of the event
• Date event page is to open
• UF employee or outside donors (or both)
• Attach any photos you would like to include on your special events page
