Touching countless lives throughout Central Maryland, the United Way helps feed, educate, heal, and care for so many individuals and families. The University’s donation goal is $30,000. Any department that achieves 100 percent participation will be eligible to win a pizza lunch for all. Also, each individual in that department will be entered into a drawing to receive a night's stay for two at the Gramercy Bed & Breakfast. This incentive is in addition to the weekly gift card drawings. The campaign runs through Oct. 31. For more information, contact your United Way ambassador or **Peggy Baldwin**, extension 2932.
