The University of Toledo

One Contribution Equals One Positive Change

A Message from Lloyd A. Jacobs, M.D., President of The University of Toledo, and UTC3 Chair Vandra Robinson

Have you ever seen people who need help and thought, “What can I do?”

Here at UT, some of our programs yield the opportunity to go where there is need through medical missions and other types of field work.

This fall, however, each of us in the UT community has the opportunity to enhance the lives of those who need us during the annual University of Toledo Community Charitable Campaign (UTC3). It’s that one thing we all can do from our small corner of the world to help those in our own backyard, as well as those in backyards across the globe.

Through UTC3, your pledges will support Community Health Charities, Earth Shares of Ohio, Northwest Community Shares and the United Way of Greater Toledo. These groups assist more than 200 local, regional and national organizations. They depend entirely on community support to do their good works.

This year, we’d like the “pledge thermometers” on our campuses to reach for the $250,000 mark. With your compassionate support, this is a goal that can be attained. It’s our hope that, as an organization that lives by the mission of “improving the human condition” of others, all within the UT family can find it in our resources to give as generously as possible. The many methods of contribution are found on this Web site.

If you’ve given in the past, thank you, and we hope you’ll continue your generous support. If you’re new to UTC3 and charitable giving, please consider this an opportunity to support the people, organizations and causes that capture your passion.

If you’ve been looking for that “one thing” that will make a difference, here’s your chance. Please give to the UTC3 campaign this year. You’ll be amazed at how good it feels to make a positive contribution to the world around you!
