CFD's education and literacy contest ends Wednesday

As October draws to a close, so too does the Combined Fund Drive's education and literacy contest.

More than $3,000 has already been collected for the cause of education in the state's local communities, including more than $1,100 in new monthly contributions. Donors through the CFD have generated a grand total of more than $12,000 in new donations for educational charities for the year.

From now until Wednesday, those who sign up to give $5 or more per month through payroll contribution or those who increase their current donation by $5 per month to one of the charities listed on the education and literacy flyer will qualify for a chance to win a free iPad.

For more information or assistance in making a donation, contact Sara Wilson at (360) 650-4332 or sara.wilson@wwu.edu.
