Two ways to contribute to this year’s Pitt United Way Campaign

The University of Pittsburgh is aiming to raise more than $770,000 — 110% of last year’s total — for the United Way before April 30. The annual campaign’s success depends on the participation of students, faculty and staff across Pitt’s departments and campuses.

But there are more ways to give than through payroll deduction or vacation day donation.

Upcoming volunteer opportunities

Donate your time by working at the Pitt Shop at the Petersen Events Center during home basketball games; each two-hour shift will earn the campaign $35 for the campaign. Volunteers also get a free t-shirt and will be entered to win a prize at the end of the season.
