The 2017  MCC United Way Campaign - Update


The 2017 MCC United Way Campaign Is Off to A Great Start – Thank You!

The 2017 Monroe Community College United Way campaign began Monday, March 6 and we have raised $23, 678.74 toward our $100, 000 goal.  The wind and snow may have slowed us down, but we know we will finish strong! 

The Change Blitz and Kick-off events at Brighton and DCC were a huge success, raising $307.31 that will go toward MCC’s donation to the United Way’s Community Fund. The Community Fund is the largest pool of financial gifts collected through the annual fundraising campaign and helps solve our community's most critical health and human service needs. 

Congratulations and thank you to Shawnadre Crews who raised over $185.00 on her own during the Blitz!!

The 2017 MCC United Way Campaign runs from March 6 - April 14. Please join us for our special events:

*         On Friday, March 24 and Friday, April 7, the MCC United Way committee and WMCC the FUSE invite you to end your work day by participating in a United Way walk-a-thon through the campus, joining your MCC colleagues for a celebration of giving.  You can join in the walk-a-thons any time from 3:45 pm to 4:15 pm by signing in at either of three starting points:  the R.Thomas Flynn Campus Center, Second Floor Atrium, the PAC Center Lobby in Building 10, or the Atrium in Building 12.  All participants are welcome to gather back at the Campus Center Atrium for the celebration and prize drawings starting at 4:30pm.  Each $1.00 donation to the United Way earns you a chance to win a fabulous prize from our generous donors: the MCC Bookstore, Pepsi, Java’s, Food for Thought, and the United Way Committee.  Prizes include United Way T-shirts, Gift Certificates, Vera Bradley Items, MCC logo merchandise and more!  And as if those prizes aren’t enough to get you moving, every dollar up to $1000 donated during the walk-a-thons will be matched by the Kress-Davis Family! 

*         Bottle and Can Drive: March 6-April 14

*         Department Change Challenge: March 6 – April 7
