The annual United Way fund drive began on October 1, and the University
is already on its way to reaching this year’s goal of $175,000. “The
United Way needs our help now more than ever,” says Marvin Cook,
vice president of planning, budgeting, and information and the University’s
United Way manager.
Participants who contribute $75 or more ($1.45 a
week) will be eligible to win incentive prizes, which will be raffled
off at drawings every
Friday from October 17 through November 16 and at the University holiday
party on December 12. The prizes include a Kodak EZ 200 digital camera
and SynchMaster multimedia speaker system, a pair of Beanpot Tournament
tickets, a one night stay for two at the Hotel Commonwealth, a $200 gift
certificate to Barnes & Noble, a dinner cruise for two aboard the
Spirit of Boston, four first balcony seats for May’s BU Night at
the Pops, four tickets to the Commencement and Reunion Weekend all-University
buffet celebration, three weekend getaways for two at a Marriott hotel,
and a travel package for two to any location in the continental United
States.
“They’re all very nice prizes,” Cook says, “and I would
encourage people to get their contributions in early so that they will
be eligible for all the drawings.”
