Carleton United Way campaign beats $150,000 target


Carleton's United Way campaign raised more than $160,000 — surpassing its $150,000 goal — showing that the spirit of giving is alive and well on campus.

During the three-week campaign which officially wrapped up on Nov. 13, donors were encouraged to target their money to children and youth programs supported by the United Way. Campaign volunteers worked countless hours organizing events like Loonies for Learning, the Polar Bear Dip, the Giant 50/50 draw and various luncheons held across campus.
