Events | United Way Campaign

The UTM United Way Campaign has a long-standing tradition of running events of all kinds to raise awareness, support fundraising efforts and show our school spirit. We are so thankful for the many campus partners that make our creative and fun activities possible.

This year, we are not able to gather in person for our much-loved events. Supporters are encouraged to donate to the tri-campus campaign at the links they have received by email. If you have lost your link, please contact assistance@uwgt.org to have your link resent.

November 23 & 24, 2023 - UTM Library United Way Book Sale
From 10AM-3PM in the CCT/HMALC link.
- Thanks to the generosity of the UTM Community, the Library has received many donated items thus far. Thank you. Donations for the 2023 United Way Booksale will continue until early November.
  
  What is needed?
  
  Best sellers are always popular – they are always the first to sell - and classic works are well, timeless. What about that young adult or children's collection in your house that at the moment is just gathering dust. We want you to think about sharing all your great books with others, while at the same time raising money for the United Way.
  
  We are accepting donations of paperbacks, hardcovers, young adult, children's books, comic books, DVDs, Music CDs, Puzzles and Board games for the sale.
  
  What is not needed?
  
  Please NO textbooks, academic reading, or magazines.
  
  Please NO books or items that are very old, damaged, waterlogged, or ripped up.
  
  Please NO VHS cassettes.
  
  Please NO children's toys
  
  How and where can I donate my items?
  
  We will be accepting donations at the Information & Loans Desk.
  
  If you have boxes of books in your car or office that need transporting to the Library, please let us know and we can arrange a convenient drop-off/pick up time.
  
  Looking forward to collecting your donations and seeing you at our sale!
