One of the ways UAA demonstrates its engagement in the community is by being a part of the annual United Way/Alaska Community Share drive, known on campus as the UAA Community Campaign. This year the campaign runs from November 3 to December 21.

As of December 1, UAA has pledged $37,709, 63 per cent of our $60,000 goal.

 The Community Campaign on-line auction for staff, faculty and students is now active!

Go to Auction and click the top link on the left. There are great experiences, unique items, and cool stuff, so bid early and often. 100% of the auction proceeds go to the Community Campaign, so you can feel good about your bid!

Auction closes at 5:00 on Friday, December 10.

The campus hosted several fundraising events so far, including a popcorn and truffle sale in the Professional Studies Building lobby and a soup potluck in the Administration Building.

There will be more great events coming in the future. UAA Is opening its hearts, minds and wallets, and joining the rest of Anchorage to help those in need in the community. In the words of Anne Frank: “No one has ever become poor by giving”.
