Published December 19, 2013 This content is archived.

UB’s 2013 Employees Campaign for the Community has raised $738,093, or 87 percent of its goal of $850,000.

The amount raised as of Dec. 18 is based on the response of 45 percent of UB employees who have either made a gift or declined.

The campaign has featured a number of incentives to encourage employee to donate to the campaign. Only those individuals who have made a donation to the campaign were eligible to win. Prizes were awarded every Thursday and all employees who made a donation by midnight the previous night were eligible to win. Winners are posted on the campaign website under “news.”

The winners of the final drawing of the campaign on Dec. 12 are Christine Duggleby of the Department of Anthropology, who received a special parking pass for the spring 2014 semester; Stephen G. Comings of Enterprise Infastructure Services, Pamela L. Garvey of the Center for the Arts and James D. Houseknecht of Animal Facilities, all of whom received SaveAround coupon books offering discounts on food, recreation and entertainment in Western New York; and Pao Lo Liu of the Department of Electrical Engineering, who received a $50 Tim Hortons gift certificate.
