Ball State employees launched their United Way Campaign with a kickoff luncheon.
The event, open to all employees, took place in Cardinal Hall Tuesday.
Last year, Ball State employees gave $126,358 to United Way. This year they’re hoping to increase that amount to $150,000.
Marta Stephens, employee United Way campus campaign coordinator said the program doesn’t try to be “in your face.”
The United Way promotes three ways to help give back. They accept monetary donations, promote advocating ways in which to help give back and ask for volunteers.
According to the press release, there are 24 local United Way agencies supported by donations from Ball State employees.
“I always look for a way to give back. I think that it’s important to give where you work and so I’ve been a participant. I have a very strong interest in trying to improve conditions in the community,” Kevin Kenyon, campus campaign chair said.
