SUBJECT:

2006 United Way/Combined Health Agency Drive

Please join me in supporting the 2006 UCSD United Way/CHAD Campaign.

This year's theme is "The Power of U...Making a Difference." The theme is appropriate because each of us is challenged to care for the needs of the San Diego community. I encourage you to contribute to UCSD's United Way/CHAD Campaign as a noble way to manifest your caring.

Many individuals and families in the San Diego community have a desperate need for the services offered by the United Way/CHAD agencies. Therefore, supporting United Way/CHAD, through The UCSD Campaign, offers us the opportunity to make a difference in the lives of our neighbors.

Gifts to United Way/CHAD help to support community programs which do the following:

* enhance senior independence
* develop diverse communities
* empower persons with disabilities.
* improve health and wellness
* protect the environment
* strengthen families in crisis
* invest in children and youth

The UCSD United Way/CHAD 2006 Campaign commences today, February 14, and will run through Friday, March 17. I urge you to visit the UCSD United Way/CHAD Campaign website at: http://blink.ucsd.edu/go/unitedway

I am proud of our campus community's prior campaign success and I applaud those of you who have volunteered your time, energy and financial resources to this cause. If this year's Campaign is to succeed, all of us must become involved and act as our heart dictates.

Questions about this notice may be directed to Campaign Co-chairs, Rogers Davis (rodavis@ucsd.edu) at (858) 534-0286 or Dan Wyman (dwyman@ucsd.edu) at (858) 534-7831. On behalf of the United Way/CHAD agencies and the University, thank you for your continued support.
