2009  IOWA STATE UNIVERSITY
UNITED WAY CAMPAIGN

 As this year’s United Way Campaign Chair I want to offer my CONRATULATIONS and SINCERE THANKS for your incredible generosity in these very difficult financial times for setting a new United Way Campaign record for Iowa State University!

We not only met our goal of raising $295,500; we blew it out of the water by raising a record $312,665!!! This is an incredible accomplishment and speaks very highly of the quality of the men and women of the Iowa State University community. Thank you to all who contributed to this year’s campaign. Thank you to all the continuing Leadership Gift Donors, especially those who increase their donation each year, and a special thanks to the new Leadership Gift Donors for stepping up to the plate.

A special thanks to the ISU Students who collected $2,483.81 in their United Way drive, which puts them at 165.6% of goal!
