Volume 19, No. 10, Oct 30,1989
United Way
Dear UTSA Staff Member:
I write to you as the Campaign Coordinator of the 1989-1990 UTSA United
Way campaign to request your help in
supporting the United Way. Between
November 1st and November 2nd, a coworker will be approaching you to solicit
your contribution to the campaign.
Please consider giving generously.
When you give to the United Way
through UTSA you help your friends,
neighbors, co-workers, and families because your contribution is used locally.
The United Way supports over 80 agencies and 200 programs in San Antonio
and Bexar County. Our contributions
provide health care for young and old,
create shelter for abused and abandoned children and battered women, relieve working parents through reliable
day care programs, care for the handicapped and the terminally ill, and so
much more. Any one of us may need
the assistance of the United Way at any
time.
I give to the United Way because I
know the United Way will use my contribution well. Over 95 cents of every dollar contributed goes directly to program
services because the United Way relies
on volunteers. If agencies have to do all
fund-raising themselves, as much as 50
cents per dollar is spent on fund-raising.
When I give to the United Way, I also
know that my donation will be used appropriately. All agencies that receive
United Way funds are reviewed yearly
by community volunteers to make sure
that they are meeting community needs
and spending your money wisely.
SRA President Judy Morgan, State Representative Jeff Wentworth and Student Coordinator,
Jean-Pierre Cuello, were among the participants in the Red Ribbon Ceremony held on Oct. 25.
Consider choosing how your contribution will be used. If you have a special
concern or an agency, you can designate that your contribution be used in a
particular way when you make your
pledge. If you designate, all the money
you contribute will be used as you direct. So you can give where you want,
while showing that UTSA cares.
To continue the challenge of making
San Antonio a better, more humane
place to live for all San Antonians, we
need your help. Please join me in pledging a contribution to this year's campaign so that we can show San Antonio
how much UTSA cares. Whatever you
can afford to give will be appreciated.
Thank you for your continued support
of the United Way.
Sincerely,
flic
