York University community members have come together to raise close to $80,000 in support of local agencies and programs through the 2017 York Cares United Way Campaign, which runs until Nov. 30.<\/p>\n

Each year, the York U community comes together in support of the United Way, and this year\u2019s goal is $185,000. Funds raised through the campaign benefit important local agencies and programs \u2013 some of which impact York\u2019s programs and students directly.<\/p>\n

Did you know that $500 provides funding and support for a week-long hot breakfast program for over 50 kids, and that $100 provides crisis and supportive counselling to a woman and her children who are survivors of domestic violence? Opportunities to make donations will continue through the month, with an upcoming\u00a0Skills & Talents Silent Auction Nov. 16 and 17. Staff and faculty can make personal donations through a unique giving link that will be sent via email on the morning of Nov. 14.<\/p>\n

\"\"The York Cares United Way Campaign Skills & Talents Silent Auction will run for two days, Nov. 16<\/strong> and 17<\/strong>, from noon to 2pm in the Big Egg, West Office Building. This event is a skills swap where staff and faculty are able to showcase their unique talents in areas outside of work.<\/p>\n

Some of the auction items this year include: a one-year planetary membership to the Ontario Science Centre; a 10-piece Lagostina Ticino cookware set; a gift card to Harry Rosen; a private behind-the-scenes tour of the Allan I. Carswell Observatory for six people; guitar lessons; a spin class with your choice of music; a police ride-along; hand-blown glass ornaments; baked goods; prepared lunches for a week; knitted items; a photo shoot; teacup candles; original art; and much more.<\/p>\n

Everyone is welcome to attend.<\/p>\n
