United Way Payroll Deduction Option Ends Today, Nov. 29

Faculty and staff who wish to support this year’s United Way campaign through convenient payroll deductions have until 11:59 p.m. tonight, Wednesday, Nov. 29, to make a contribution. Gifts made by the deadline will be eligible for various United Way raffle drawings.

To date, 353 employees have donated or made a pledge, and 26 employees have pledged at the leadership level of $1,000 or more. Bill Zilcosky, senior director of facilities, services and operations and this year’s campaign chair, is proud of campaign efforts to increase employee participation through education and awareness—more than 100 new donors contributed.

The annual campaign has raised nearly 78 percent or $84,000 of its goal, but a final push is needed to meet the initial target of $108,000.

Contributions to the United Way campaign made by check, credit or debit card will be accepted until Sunday, Dec. 31. Employees who have not contributed yet and wish to do so can donate online at www.duq.edu/unitedway.
