Jed Dembowski, Vice President of Marketing and Communications, for United Way of Norman sets up progress posters for this year's United Way campaign. The posters were designed by Dembowski to match the 2009 theme, "One Team, One Dream."

United Way Campaign Kicks Off

Students have an opportunity to reach out to the Norman community through the United Way campaign that started on Tuesday.

The United Way of Norman works with 29 other local nonprofit agencies to serve the community. This year the campaign's theme is "One Dream, One Team" and is hosted by thePrice College of Business and the Athletics Program.

"There are a lot of people that are turning to the United Way who never in their dreams thought that they would need the United Way services. So for those that can, now is the time to step up and try to help those that can't ," said Dean Ken Evans of the Price College of Business.

This year's campaign will raise money through raffles, donations and fundraisers of all sorts hosted by different OU student led groups and groups in the Norman community. The campaign ends on November 6.
