The United Way provides funding for a wide range of organizations and activities, MacKenzie said. “There is probably quite a number of employees and students who have benefited from these programs. Our strategy has been educative and it’s going to increase.” MacKenzie said he is pleased to see that the proceeds from the college’s presentation of Sex with Sue will be donated to the United Way. “There’s an example of student involvement (with the campaign).”
College employees are the primary donors, MacKenzie said. “We would be really pleased to have students donate, but we understand they often have their financial positions to
