Making a positive impact in our local communities is something we deeply value at UBC.

In that spirit, we are pleased to announce that this year’s UBC United Way campaign officially launches on Wednesday, October 9 in Vancouver and the Okanagan.

United Way British Columbia serves over 4 million people by strengthening vital services and connections that support people in need in our local communities. 

As part of the UBC community, you can help address the critical issues affecting our neighbours by taking part in the long-standing UBC tradition of supporting this great cause. Funds raised in our annual campaign are so important in supporting health, care and inclusion in the region.

How can you support United Way? Next Wednesday, October 9, you will receive an email from ubc-campaign@uwbc.ca inviting you to make a payroll pledge online. We encourage you to show your support by becoming a donor.
