SHARE: ESF Surpasses Goal for SEFA/United Way Campaign

The College wrapped up a successful ESF Community Campaign for SEFA/United Way. The unofficial total of the campaign is $37,735 surpassing the goal of $35,000.

The annual campaign benefits the United Way of Central New York (UWCNY) which works to improve lives and community conditions by bringing people and resources together to focus on the local issues that matter most. UWCNY identifies community issues and needs, works with community groups and develops special initiatives.

Co-chaired by Wendy Osborne and Karen Moore in the Office of Communications and Marketing, the campaign ran from Oct. 1 to Dec. 4 and featured special events such as the Taste of ESF and Basket Raffles, along with traditional pledges.

Raffle winners were chosen during Tuesday's Grand Finale Bagel Breakfast. Winners are as follows:
