Not Too Late to Donate to Everyday Heroes Live United
FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. – Faculty and staff at the U of A still have an easy opportunity to make one donation that will support 57 agencies, 69 programs and thousands of people in Northwest Arkansas.
All it takes is a minute to go online to contribute, or fill out and return a personal Hero Card.
Proceeds from the Everyday Heroes Live United campaign go to the United Way of Northwest Arkansas; $.84 out of every dollar goes to fund education, income, health and the emergency needs. That’s one of the best rates of any organization, anywhere.
The need is there: 25 percent of the families in Northwest Arkansas live on less than $25,000 a year. Some of them work at the U of A, or go to school here.
The Everyday Heroes Live United campaign has now raised just under $116,000, 77 percent of the $150,000 goal. Thanks to all the Everyday Heroes whose donations are making a difference – Every Day.
