Re:  UC Davis and the 1999 United Way Campaign

Your first inclination may be to set this note aside.  Solicitations, no matter
how worthy the cause, are not the most welcome pieces of mail.  This one,
though, is a bit different.  In addition to presenting to you the broad-based
flexibility of United Way, you will see that you can present your gift directly
to more than 20 programs at our UC Davis Medical Center, including the
Cancer Center Program, Intensive Care Nursery, and the Child Protection 
Center.

Whatever your thoughts about your personal charitable contributions, please
consider how important every gift--no matter the size--can be to your friends
and neighbors and thousands of others who will benefit.  

United Way focuses on nurturing children and youth, building self-sufficiency, 
and supporting a strong, safe community.  Your contribution, for example, 
makes the following possible:

$5 per pay period provides one week of shelter for a battered mother and
three children.

$10 per pay period helps 14 at-risk students learn to recognize a suicidal
crisis, access resources, and seek help during a crisis in order to prevent
self-destructive or suicidal behaviors.

$20 per pay period provides new shoes and school supplies for 42 low-income
children.

If you choose to contribute to United Way during this year's "Results You
Can See" campaign, October 25-November 24, you can address our community's 
most critical needs.  And when you invest in United Way Sacramento Area, about
86.5 cents of every dollar goes directly to community agencies-- many of whom
could not afford to raise funds without United Way's assistance.

This year's campus campaign chair, Director of Controls & Accountability
John Gregg, would be happy to arrange a 10-minute presentation to help inform 
you and your staffs about United Way at an upcoming unit meeting.  To schedule
a presentation, contact John at 752-3255, jwgregg@ucdavis.edu.  

Individually addressed pledge forms will be sent to employees this week and
will be due November 24.  Requests for additional blank forms or questions
about the campus's campaign operations can be directed to Lynette Temple,
Office of Administration, 752-3949, lstemple@ucdavis.edu.

With appreciation,

Larry N. Vanderhoef
Chancellor
