United Way and UoG Gryphons Kick Off Football and Campaign Season With a Home Opener Win!

August 29th, 2024 9:36 AM

What better way to start the University of Guelph’s United Way Campaign than with the Gryphons’ Home Opener Game! This past weekend, we were able to share and celebrate some #LocalLove by cheering on the football Gryphons while supporting United Way. $1 from every ticket sold to the game went toward United Way, as did proceeds from the 50/50 draw and general donations on-site. Huge shoutout to our Gryphons who won with a final score of 38-25 as well!
