Volunteers from across campus participated in a run/walk event for United Way on Friday, Nov. 5. Sixty-eight McMaster employees partipated, raising more than $1,300 toward McMaster's $175,000 United Way campaign goal.

The winner of the early bird prize of two tickets to a Raptors basketball game was Mary Arnold. The team spirit prize (lunch for a crowd) went to Health Sciences Human Resources and the team with the greatest participation was Student Financial Aid and Scholarships, which received a gift certificate from Bistro 1010 in Westdale.

First place runners were Tabitha Marshall from the Department of History and Phillip Gander from the Department of Psychology. In the walk, first place honours went to Jill Davren of Student Financial Aid and Scholarships and Mikael Andersson of Humanities Media and Computing.

Running/walking kits given to participants contained items from Coke, the Institute of Chartered Accountants of Ontario, and Manulife. Runners and walkers relaxed after the event with refreshments provided by Working@McMaster and Hospitality Services.

Other sponsors included Meloche Monnex, DeGroote School of Business & Faculty of Health Sciences; Human Resources Services, Office of the Provost, Athletics & Recreation, Titles Bookstore, Printer Sense, MSE Canada, Office of the President, Lord Lee Jones, Grand & Toy, Canon, M.E.S.S., CAS, University Advancement, Xerox Canada Inc., The Phoenix, MSU, Sports Injury Clinic, and Mr. Print-All.
