Get moving for United Way
- University of Victoria
This spring, the UVic United Way campaign is partnering with Vikes Athletics and Recreation to help faculty and staff get out and get active with the March Movement Challenge. This is a fantastic way to help motivate yourself to increase your daily activity, get to know your colleagues better—and maybe even win a Fitbit.
Here’s how it works:
Register online and pay your $20 entry fee. Entry fees are donated to United Way Greater Victoria.
You will be added to the March Movement Challenge Microsoft Teams group with other participating UVic staff and faculty members.
On Monday March 8, 15, 22 and April 1, a post will pop up in the Teams group asking if you hit your 150 minutes for the week prior. If you have, like the post and comment how you did it.
For every week you hit your 150 minutes and respond to the post, you will receive an entry into a prize draw.
At the end of the challenge, we’ll draw winners for some great prizes including a Fitbit and a bag stuffed with UVic swag.
This is a great way for you to show your support for the UVic United Way campaign. If you have not yet enrolled in payroll donation, you can do so at pledge.uwgv.ca/uvic, or find out more about the UVic campaign at uvic.ca/unitedway.
United Way does vital work right here in Victoria and this year is focusing on three key areas: mental health and addictions, isolated seniors, and families in need. Share your local love and help support those in our community in need. Keep in mind that new donors who give before the end of the campaign will be entered to win a lunch with UVic President Dr. Kevin Hall.
We hope to see you out there in March.
