President and Mrs. Ivany to recognize United Way
leadership

On Tuesday, October 14, George and Marsha Ivany will be holding a
U of S Leadership Reception in the Faculty Club to recognize Leaders of
the Way ?those who pledge $600 or more a year to the United Way.

In 1996, there were 210 Leadership gifts in Saskatoon?s $1.4-million
Campaign, with the largest number?39?coming from the campus
population. Moreover, key people from the University perennially
volunteer their services toward helping the United Way reach its declared
objective, which this year is $1.5 million.

Contributions from the campus community last year totaled $87,939, from
409 donors. Leadership gifts to the Campaign accounted for $35,749, or
41 per cent , of that amount.

The United Way reminds donors that their donations effectively fund 37
worthy agencies and that its fund-raising costs are among the lowest of
any campaign in the community.
