Next month begins the 18th annual State Employees Federated Appeal (SEFA) United Way Bake-Off, and organizers invite faculty and staff members to consider baking a dessert to help raise money for the 2018-19 campaign.
Thanks to the bakers and tasters during last year's bake-off, the campaign was able to raise around $660. The list below provides days and times for when representatives of buildings on campus will participate. To enter, a baker would e-mail the contact person for their building's bake-off and let them know the name of the dessert they will submit.
Due to Department of Health rules and regulations, desserts need to be submitted in taste-size portions wrapped in plastic or in cupcake paper cups. Because of the nature of the contest, desserts requiring refrigeration will not be allowed. The bake-off contact person can let participants know when and where to drop off their dessert prior to the event. Prizes will celebrate the winner of each bake-off.
The campus community is invited to attend any or all three of the bake-offs to sample the various clever and tasty creations. Items are sold two for $1.
Bake-off times and buildings include:
Monday, Oct. 15: noon to 2 p.m. in the Marano Campus Center
Buildings participating: Building 20, King, Lee, Marano Campus Center, Mary Walker, Park, Rich, Sheldon, Shineman, Wilber

The event is one of a series supporting the annual SEFA/United Way campaign, which gives state employees in their workplaces opportunities to support charities of their choice through a single pledge through payroll deduction, electronic donation or by check -- as well as via the various campus fundraisers.
