Greg Finn, left, and Kevin Lawr are encouraging people to donate to Brock's United Way campaign.<\/p><\/div>\n

There\u2019s one week left of Brock\u2019s official United Way campaign, and two of its co-chairs are urging people to submit their pledge forms.<\/p>\n

Greg Finn, faculty co-chair, and Kevin Lawr, who acts as co-chair with Lynne Prout, say people with blank pledge forms sitting on their desks should submit them next week.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe services the United Way<\/a> supports benefit everyone,\u201d Finn said. \u201cAny donation is appreciated and will be put to good use.\u201d<\/p>\n

Brock\u2019s United Way campaign lasts six weeks. Its goal is $112,000. Even when the goal is not met by the official end date, which this year is Nov. 26, the campaign continues unofficially until the end of the year, Lawr said.<\/p>\n

\u201cNext week may be the end of our six-week campaign, but the books stay open until the end of the year,\u201d he said. \u201cPeople can get their donations in any time before Christmas.\u201d<\/p>\n

As of Nov. 18, about $86,000 has been raised.<\/p>\n
