University of Windsor employees and retirees have donated more than $100,000 to the United Way, the campus campaign for the charity reports.

In just a one-week fundraising period that kicked off Jan. 22, supporters combined for a total of $114,550.88 toward cradle-to-career anti-poverty programming.

“I am especially gratified to see 24 new donors respond to our appeal, and a further 17 contributors raise the amounts of their gifts,” says campaign co-chair Sara McNorton.

“Our faculty and staff have always been generous supporters of the important work the United Way does to build local communities where all children have the ability to achieve their dreams and reach their potential.”
