Dear Colleague,

Every athlete knows that a team must be united to succeed.

The generous donations to United Way from the Purdue University team of employees and retirees have helped build success into the lives of many people in our community for many years. I'm eager to see the Purdue Team continue and expand on its community support of United Way.

The Purdue United Way campaign goal this year is $725,000. This is a more than 1/8 of the Greater Lafayette community United Way goal. Purdue is very important to the United Way.

New This Year: All new or increased giving will be matched dollar-for-dollar by our friends at Eli Lilly Endowment, in partnership with the Indiana Association of United Ways. So, if you gave $100.00 and increase your gift to $150.00, Eli Lilly will pitch in $50.00 for a total of $200.00 to help United Way initiatives.

Please help us keep our community services strong by making a gift or increasing your gift to United Way this year and help us build on success!

Boiler Up!
