Rockets, United We're Strong!

All faculty, staff and retirees are encouraged to participate in UToledo Cares 2024, the University’s annual charitable campaign running from January 23 – February 22, 2024.

As Toledo’s University we know how important our engagement and support are in the community. As an institution we make a difference daily to our students and residents through the education you provide, the patients you treat, and the valuable partnerships, programs, and initiatives you dedicate your lives to.

The nonprofit agencies included in the UToledo Cares Campaign do the same. Through their work in the community and services they offer, they are an important part of “change-making” throughout northwest Ohio – often working right alongside us. By choosing to make a donation during the 2024 campaign, you are committing to our mission as a university to improve the human condition, while making a meaningful impact in the lives of our neighbors throughout northwest Ohio.

Our theme this year is One Heart, One Life, One Step. We each have one heart – so let’s find ways to keep it healthy. We have one life – choose to live a life full of meaning, and do good when you can. It takes one step to start – why not begin with this?

Contributions to the campaign benefit four important federations – United Way of Greater Toledo, Creating Healthier Communities, EarthShare Ohio and Northwest Ohio Community Shares – which together represent nearly 200 nonprofit organizations throughout the greater Toledo area.
