Our United Way campaign has raised $2,345,259 to date — 91 percent of the combined goal of $2,568,000 for all Johns Hopkins entities — and the participation rate is up to 24 percent and climbing.

Help keep the momentum going by sending in your pledge form or attending one of the remaining special events such as the Chili Cook-Off, set for 11:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. on Tuesday, Nov. 29, in Homewood's Glass Pavilion. Lunch (chili, cornbread, dessert and drink) is $5; all proceeds benefit the United Way of Central Maryland. For more information, call 410-516-6060.

 

Thanks from United Way!
