- The United Way of Douglas County will kick off its 2000-01
fund drive this weekend with the Day of Caring.
Volunteers will offer assistance Sept. 9 at United Way agencies
and other locations throughout the county. For more information,
contact Michelle Heller at 865-5030.
The coordinator for this year's United Way campaign at KU is
Leonard Krishtalka, director of the Natural History Museum and
Biodiversity Research Center.
"Support from KU is critical to the United Way of Douglas
County," he said. "The more the KU community supports
the Douglas County United Way, the more Douglas County becomes
our community."
The 2000 campaign, "The Power of You," will run to
Nov. 3. KU employees can contribute to the United Way through
payroll deductions and can designate contributions for specific
agencies.
This year's contribution goal for KU employees is $196,226. The
goal for the county is $1.42 million.
The United Way of Douglas County helps nearly 30 agencies, including
Big Brothers/Big Sisters, the Boys and Girls Club, Hospice and
Trinity Respite Care.
