2011/2012 Campaign

 Due to the generosity of our U-M community, we were able to not only reach our goal of $1.3 million, but have surpassed it!!!   We would like to extend our sincere gratitude to everyone who gave this year, and to all the campus volunteers who played a vital role in this years successful campaign.

note: Hard copy pledges are still welcome. If you would like to donate and need assistance, please call us at 734-763-3109

Message from our 2011 Co-Chairs

Doug Strong and Phil Hanlon

Did you know that one in four residents in Washtenaw County receives a service provided by United Way funding? Or that children make up 20 percent of the homeless population, and that families with children is the fastest growing group of homeless? These aren't just numbers, but our neighbors and friends who rely on United Way partner agencies for daycare assistance, food services, senior aid and much more.

Our yearly campaign gives us an opportunity to come together to help those in need and build a stronger community. United Way-funded agencies are able to leverage the support they receive into thousands of dollars in federal, state and county grants, helping to keep important programs and services available.

Thank you for your contribution toward strengthening our community.

Best wishes,

Doug Strong,
Chief Executive Officer,
UM Hospitals & Health Centers

Phil Hanlon,
Provost and Executive Vice President
