ChemE contributes to UW Combined Fund

The results are in for the current UW Combined Fund Drive. Despite the challenging times, the breaking news for UW is the pledge over $2 million dollars. On April 5, 2012, Secretary of State Sam Reed hosted a luncheon for UWCFD volunteers for this outstanding campaign. According to Sam Reed, the University of Washington is the number one campaign in the country as well as in Washington State, with more than 3,400 charities.
Faculty, staff, and students in the Chemical Engineering Department made the campaign very successful. The department donated 24 shoes to Redeeming Soles, an organization supplying shoes to those in need in the wet Pacific Northwest. The department also held a bake sale and accepted donations in Fall 2011, and raised over $100. The funds were donated to PAWS, a champion for animals, rehabilitating injured and orphaned wildlife. In addition, ChemE made pledges to organizations online through the combined fund, raising our donation funds from 11% to 15%.
