The University of Florida Campaign for Charities (UFCC) Kick Off Event was held this past Tuesday at the University of Florida. The UFCC is the annual employee giving campaign, and UF employees had the opportunity to engage with and learn about several charities serving our region. After the UFCC Kick Off, the event transitioned to the Brown Center for Leadership and Service, Student Volunteer Network Fair. UF students were able to visit with the remaining charities and learned more about how they could connect with and support the organizations. Special thanks to Amy, Celine, and Sada for attending this event and representing the CIL!
