FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. – The campus community is invited to help kick off the 83rd University of Arkansas United Way campaign at 3 p.m. Monday, Sept. 25 in the Arkansas Union Connections Lounge.

This year’s campaign theme is United We Win, so there will be games to play and win, the Razorback Cheer Squad for extra inspiration, free refreshments and a photo booth for Instagram-ready pictures to help spread the word about the U of A United Way campaign.

Have a great time, learn more about the campaign and the thousands of local children you can help with your support. 

Featured speakers are Chancellor Joe Steinmetz, U of A United Way campaign co-chair Dean Stacy Leeds, ASG president Andrew Counce, and Christina Hinds, from the United Way of Northwest Arkansas.

The fundraising campaign officially begins Monday, Oct. 2 and runs until Oct. 27.
