Purdue United Way hosts victory celebration for successful 2023 campaign

Donors and volunteers who were part of the 2023 Purdue United Way campaign gathered with United Way of Greater Lafayette and community leaders to commemorate this year’s success during a Dec. 12 victory celebration at Dauch Alumni Center.

Beth McNeil, dean of Libraries and School of Information Studies and the 2023 Purdue United Way campaign chair, and Lisa Duncan, nonprofit engagement director and Purdue United Way liaison, gave remarks during the event, acknowledging the strong efforts of campus volunteers this year.

“Thank you to all who gave to Purdue’s United Way campaign this year,” McNeil said. “We are grateful to the volunteers across campus who donated their time and energy to promote the campaign and its importance to our community. Congratulations, Purdue, for exceeding this year’s goal!”

The event marks the first time Purdue United Way has hosted its own victory celebration since before the COVID-19 pandemic.
