UW Combined Fund Drive Kickoff

 

It’s almost here! The annual UWCFD Charity Fair and Silent Auction is two weeks from today. Come by and help celebrate the start of the UW Combined Fund Drive, our workplace giving campaign.

 

Date: Thursday, October 16
Time: 11 a.m.–1:30 p.m.
Location: The HUB Ballroom

 

Take a break, stroll through the ballroom, meet representatives from over 80 nonprofit organizations, enjoy refreshments, and enter to win door prizes at this free event. Grand prize is a Seattle Sounders FC tickets and Sounders shirt prize pack. The fair is open to all faculty, staff, and students. Together we raise more than $2 million annually. Our donations support many causes including education, research, humanitarian aid, disaster relief, the environment, the arts, and animal protection.

This year’s featured charity is the ArtsFund. The ArtsFunds mission is to strengthen the community by supporting the arts through leadership, advocacy and grantmaking.

Support ArtsFund by participating in the:

  • Silent Auction: Seahawks football signed by Russell Wilson, Brian Carter Cellars Wine Tasting, ACT Theatre tickets, Agua Verde Paddle Club Experience, Ernie Banks—“Mr. Cub” autographed baseball, Seahawks vs. Raiders tickets, and more.
  • Coin Drive: Bring your spare change and fill the jars
