We share the unique pleasure of working for a university that encourages us to be the difference — not only for our students but for our broader Milwaukee community as well. The MARQUETTE COMMUNITY CAMPAIGN provides us with the opportunity to make a bold statement about our commitment to give of ourselves in service to those in need.
Whether you choose to support Give Marquette, United Way, or United Performing Arts Fund (UPAF), or all three, your gift will make a profound impact. Every gift, regardless of amount, demonstrates your belief in Marquette University's mission.
What is this year's goal? Our ultimate goal is always full participation — to have every employee contribute whatever they can to support this important Campaign.Last year, 591 Marquette employees participated in the community campaign, raising a total of just over $200,000 for these three worthy oranizations. This year we have a goal of increasing our total giving to $210,000.
