Dear Colleagues,

Across our campus and in every county around the Commonwealth, faculty, staff and students work tirelessly to teach, serve, heal and discover.

The goal of making our state a better place to live, work and thrive drives all of us in our shared mission to advance Kentucky.

Much of the work you do impacts the people and places not just on campus but throughout our community and state. Our partnership with United Way of the Bluegrass supports our region beyond the borders of our campus.

United Way is an organization that has provided basic needs, education and financial stability to individuals, families and entire communities across the state for more than 100 years. Together, we are fulfilling our promise to impact Kentuckians in meaningful ways.

Last year, members of our campus community contributed more than $194,000. United Way agencies throughout the Bluegrass have utilized those contributions, but to continue this vital work, they need our help.

Please join me Oct. 14-Nov. 1 in supporting our United Way campaign with donations. United Way ensures that your gifts will stay in our community, making it possible for Kentucky children and youth to achieve their full potential through education; for families to become more financially stable and independent; and for communities to receive the help they need during uncertain times.

Visit UK’s United Way website or email UK’s United Way Coordinator to learn more about the campaign and how to contribute. 

Thank you for your support. 

Eli Capilouto
President
