In addition to its annual giving campaign, employees at Vancouver Island University are hosting events to help raise money for the United Way Central and Northern Vancouver Island.
A series of spin classes at VIU’s fitness room are open by minimum $10 donation for the cause. Classes run Thursday (Nov. 5) at 6:30-7:15 p.m.; Tuesday (Nov. 10) at 7:15-8 a.m.; and Nov. 19 at 6:30-7:15 p.m. E-mail viucampaign@uwcnvi.ca to reserve a spot.
The university is also hosting a dinner at its Discovery Room on Friday (Nov. 6).
The $60 entry fee includes a three-course meal and each diner will be issued a $30 receipt for the tax deductible portion of the event.
Seats are limited. Contact VIU’s campaign associates Eliza Gardiner and Christine Jenkins at viucampaign@uwcnvi.ca to reserve a spot.
VIU’s annual workplace campaign runs from now until Nov. 27. Employees at all campuses have the opportunity to give to their respective communities by making a payroll deduction program donation. Contributions go toward community programs through the United Way.
With more than $33,000 pledged in last year’s VIU campaign, proceeds helped support more than 21,500 people in 94 programs throughout central and northern Vancouver Island.
For more information on the payroll deduction program, please contact the United Way at www.uncnvi.ca.
