United Way Campaign

LIVE UNITED

A Message from the Chancellor

The many United Way of Central Indiana agencies that receive funding through our pledges provide direct services in our local community. UWCI works continually to identify the community's most important priorities and measure the impact of the programs it helps to fund. Based on research which shows that "children raised in safe, supportive, and encouraging environments are more likely to begin school ready to succeed" and knowing that many in central Indiana cannot offer young children this ideal environment, UWCI has recently stated its current priorities as follows:

- Sustaining vital human services for those who need help most.

- Helping kids enter school ready to learn and graduate ready to earn.

UWCI’s 2009 slogan is LIVE UNITED - Give. Advocate. Volunteer.

IUPUI's Campaign for UWCI offers an avenue for expressing our commitment as individuals to improving the quality of life in our city and symbolizes IUPUI's commitment to civic engagement. UWCI's emphasis on children, education, advocacy, and voluntarism is a natural fit with our university’s mission, vision, and values. I hope you will make a special effort to make IUPUI's United Way Campaign a great success this year.

Charles R. Bantz
Chancellor
