Cal Poly Employees Raise $60,000 for United Way
SAN LUIS OBISPO -- Cal Poly employees contributed over $60,000 to the United Way of SLO County during the recent California State Employees Charitable Campaign.
The
$60,000, to be given through monthly payroll deductions by Cal Poly
employees over the next year , is part of the total of $190,000
in monthly United Way payroll contributions pledged to United Way
by all state employees in San Luis Obispo County.
"It's another great example of the way Cal Poly employees help support all of the communities in our county,” said University Police Chief Tony Aeilts, this year’s United Way State Employee Campaign Chair for San Luis Obispo County. “This is especially true since the money raised here, stays here."
Cal Poly employees who contributed more than $480 during the year received "Leadership Bears" in appreciation.
