The 2013 UNMC United Way campaign kicks off Monday, Sept. 23. Here are some facts about this year’s drive.
When: Sept. 23-Oct. 11
Goal: UNMC has an employee contribution goal of $156,000.
How: For the ninth straight year, UNMC employees can pledge online through an efficient, secure system now using your UNMC eServ (formerly ESS) password.
- Employees on Monday will receive an e-mail message sent to their UNMC e-mail accounts.
- Paper pledge cards will be available to UNMC employees who do not have UNMC e-mail accounts.
- Campaign pledges, which can be made through UNMC’s payroll deduction, are automatically withdrawn beginning in January.
- A “no-pledge” option is available online for employees who choose not to donate. If you’re unable to contribute, you still are encouraged to access the website and submit the “no donation” response to be eligible for the prize drawings.
Contribution options: Employees can contribute to a host of United Way-supported area organizations or can contribute directly to the campaign, which helps support hundreds of health and human service programs across the Omaha-Council Bluffs-Bellevue area.
Incentive: Pledge by 4 p.m on Sept. 27 to be eligible for the first weekly prize drawing, which will be held each Friday during the campaign. Among the prizes available during this year’s drawings are tickets to three Nebraska football games.
Other prizes awarded during the drawings include gift certificates from:
- Borsheim’s.
- Target.
- Nebraska Furniture Mart.
- Village Pointe Shopping Center and other businesses.
Drawing winners will be announced in UNMC Today.
