Schulich United Way campaign nearing 50%

UNITED WAY UPDATE -Nov 15

Schulich Medicine & Dentistry has raised $33,261 for the United Way so far! Our goal is $75,000. Thank you to all those who have already contributed.

Your donation makes a difference!

If you donate $104, or only $2 per week, you'll help volunteers answer the calls of 11 people in crisis or distress. (London District Distress Centre)

For $250, or $4.81 per week, you will help five children from low-income families build positive social and emotional skills and help keep them off the streets.

For $550 per year, or $10.57 per week, you will help match a young girl with a Big Sister for one-to-one friendship that will build her strengths and abilities.

By giving $1,000, or $2.74 per day, you will be recognized as a Leadership Donor. Your gift will help eight children from low-income, disadvantaged families experience the joy of a week at summer camp. (Stevenson Children's Camp)
