United Way Campaign Kick-Off: March 7th and 9th!


The 2016 Monroe Community College United Way campaign begins Monday, March 7th!

As our community's college, MCC recognizes the role it plays in changing the lives of students in our region. In much the same way, the United Way of Greater Rochester works to change the lives of many of our relatives, neighbors and friends who live in our community.

In just the last year, the United Way’s Community Fund supported meals for 95,000 in need, helped 600 families avoid foreclosure, provided 6,000 rides for the elderly, and offered 472 victims of domestic violence a way to escape from their abusive homes.

Our campaign begins with a kick-off event: Monday March 7th, 12-1:30pm in the Flynn Campus Center Atrium, and Wednesday, March 9th, 12-12:50pm at the DCC 4th floor Atrium.  Please join us for food, “division change challenge,” and prizes!

The “division change challenge” will occur during the first two weeks of the campaign and there will be a prize for the division that collects the most change!  If you want to win this challenge, you can get started by sending your best fundraisers to the campaign kick-off on March 7th in the Brighton Campus Atrium (12-12:30pm) or the DCC 4th Floor Atrium on March 9th (12-12:30pm).   The person who raises the most change in that half-hour blitz will receive a United Way T-shirt!  All change raised during the kickoff blitz will be added to the individual Division totals, giving you a jump start on the two-week challenge!

All funds raised will go towards 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.

The 2016 MCC United Way Campaign runs from March 7th - April 15th:

- Campaign Kick-off event:  March 7th at the Brighton Campus and March 9th at the DCC Campus

- Division Change Challenge:  March 7th – March 18th!

Together, Let’s Change the World!
