The annual Partners in Giving campaign is underway and will continue through Nov. 30, 2022! This year, the campaign is celebrating “50 Years of Giving”. The Partners in Giving program is an opportunity for UW, UW Health and State employees to make an impact for charitable organizations in Wisconsin and beyond.

Last year, the campaign raised more than $2.1 million, CALS contributing $43,500 of that, for 500-plus charities.

CALS personnel are invited to attend a 9-part Virtual Charity Lunch and Learn series, which is new to the campaign this year. The Charity Lunch and Learns will occur every Tuesday during the Partners in Giving Campaign. Grab your lunch and tune in to hear from charities who are making an impact locally. Learn about the topics, dates and times.

Please remember that participation in the Partners in Giving campaign is completely voluntary. However, if you would like to donate, remember what can be accomplished when people act together. As always, you may choose to donate to specific charities, or you may give a general donation that will be shared among all the charitable organizations in the program. Learn about the ways you can give.

As a special incentive for donating, one lucky donor will receive one set of four men’s hockey tickets and another will win one set of four women’s hockey tickets!
