The annual United Way fund drive began October 1, and the University is already on its way to reaching this year’s goal of $165,000. “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.
As part of the University campaign, BU employees 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 15 through November 12 and at the University Holiday Party on December 16. “This year we have eight terrific incentive prizes,” says Cook. “I encourage employees to make their contributions early so that they will be eligible for all the drawings.” The prizes include a 15 GB iPod, a pair of varsity level premium seats for the January 15 BU-BC hockey game at the new Agganis Arena, a $200 gift certificate to Barnes & Noble, a dinner cruise for two aboard the Spirit of Boston, four first-balcony seats for BU Night at the Pops in May, four tickets to the May 21, 2005, all-University buffet celebration, $200 worth of Terrier Convenience Points, a weekend getaway for two at the Hotel Commonwealth, and a travel package for two to any location in the continental United States.
