There are several ways to donate, including through the <a href=\"https:\/\/uwlafayette.org\/purdue-united-way\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Purdue University United Way Campaign website<\/a>. Donors can support United Way of Greater Lafayette or choose a specific agency.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To help raise funds, a bowling event will be held at the Union Rack and Roll on Saturday, Oct. 11 from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. All bowling proceeds that day will be donated directly to United Way. Instead of paying to bowl, attendees will be given the cost of a bowling session and invited to make a donation of that amount or more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Additionally, a silent auction will be held at the AO staff appreciation meal on Oct. 15 with various items available for bids.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Employees who do not wish to donate may still participate in the campaign by visiting the website and selecting the \u201cI Don\u2019t Wish To Give\u201d button. This will count towards AO\u2019s overall participation rate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Questions about the campaign may be directed to Lauren Stearns at <a href=\"mailto:lkglick@purdue.edu\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">lkglick@purdue.edu<\/a> or Kyra McIntosh at <a href=\"mailto:howell60@purdue.edu\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">howell60@purdue.edu<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Administrative Operations is once again participating in the United Way of Greater Lafayette\u2019s annual fundraising campaign.
