United Way 2000 Campaign
| University of Miami volunteers helped the United Way of Miami-Dade County kick off the community's United Way 2000 Campaign with "Abracadabra Allapattah," held August 17 at Allapattah Elementary School. More than 90 UM volunteers from all campuses spent the day helping to refurbish both the interior and exterior of the school, and brightening its appearance for the new school year.
UM's United Way 2000 Campaign goal is to substantially surpass last year’s campaign giving, which provided $672,041. The University of Miami is also making increased employee participation a major focus of this year's effort. UM's United Way 2000 Challenge is for every United Way donor to enlist at least one new participant in the United Way campaign. Last year, approximately 62 percent of UM employees got involved, and this year's goal is to garner 100 percent participation across the University.
