UF Campaign for Charities kicks off

UF looks to beat last year's $1,015,350 in charitable donations from faculty and staff.

University of Florida employees are supporting 89 community agencies as part of UF's Campaign for Charities, and annual event that benefits organizations providing a variety of services to the Gainesville area. The 2014 campaign raised more than $1 million, a number the campaign leadership hopes to top this year. 

Donations can be made by payroll deduction, check, cash or stock contribution at ufcc.ufl.edu, where faculty and staff can also find a list of agencies to choose from, along with campaign FAQs and messages from the campaign leadership. The campaign continues until Oct. 23.
