With the mascot Handy cheering him on, Vice-Rector Victor Simon gave the official kickoff to the 2004 University of Ottawa United Way Campaign, on October 13. The campaign seeks to raise $345,000 for charity with the majority of funds going to volunteer agencies funded by United Way-Centraide Ottawa and Centraide-Outaouais.
All persons who return their United Way pledge cards will have their names entered in the special campaign draw to be held on November 16. This year's grand prize is a serigraphy of an Henri Masson work.
