Niagara College’s United Way workplace campaign, NC Cares in a Million Ways, kicked off on October 1, raising $16,500 and bringing us closer to our $50,000 fundraising goal to help those in need in Niagara.
Several initiatives are lined up this month to support and raise money for this great cause right here on campus with the following events:
November 12: NCSAC’s Hot Beverage for a Cause
