UJXCF Fund-Raising Goal Set At $100,000 By JslyneHfrsag . Post 8U« Writer When the “Lou Rawls Parade of Stars” telethon for the United Negro College Fund airs Saturday, De cember 28, it will bring the fund raising drive to the attention of millions across the country for the six hours that it is televised. How ever. those persons who are Inte grally involved in UNCF solicita tions have been working for the College Fund long before the tele thon, and will continue well after it is over. People such as Charles Farrar, co-chairperson of UNCF fund rais ing in Charlotte, and Daisy Stroud, president of the Charlotte Chapter of Links, Inc. „ Farrar, who s planned money raising activities for UNCF in Charlotte since October of 1985, says there are still plans ta develop more events up until the end of January. “There’s no need to end the cam paign with the end of the year,” he points out. “Efforts are undo- way for a wonderful money-maker.” All he could reveal about this possible event is, (dans are still tentative, it will be an entertainment feature. In 1985, UNCF changed its fiscal year to one beginning April 1 and ending March 31, to allow far “ever increasing number of year-end gifts,” according to the UNCF an nual report. In Charlotte, the set goal is $100, 000. “The campaign is going well,” reports Farrar. Along with various fund raisers su£h as the Mayor’s Reception, and area church’s par ticipation hb UNCF Sunday, local corporations have also bean contri buting to the College Fund. “Henry Doss, co-chairperson, and myself put together a letter to reach all corporate entities ifi the com munity,” explains Farrar. “There ha* been a very fine response, “Most of the companies under stand the why behind the UNCF It was the UNCF'giojum, “A Mind Charles Farrar .Co-chairperson is a Terrible Thing to Waste," which inspired the involvement of Links, Inc., suggests Daisy Stroud. In 1964, this organization led all other na tional organizations with a contri bution of $106,000, realizing their goal to contribute more than $1 million to UNCF, achieved over the last decade. The $100,000 given was not col lected through fund raisers by the Links, stresses Stroud. “The money was given out of the pockets of the Links, Inc. members," she notes. Current membership of Links, Inc. is over 5,800 with 196 chapters in 37 U.S. states and the District of Colombia. “Each year the i-inin. give tangible support to programs with goals which parallel our goals in the areas of education, culture, and. civility,Stroud comments. “The Links mean a chain in friend ship along with a chain of service." Tbdma Ladd, chairperson of the National Trends and Services con Daisy Stroud .links' president mi ttee of the Charlotte chapter of Links, Inc., is handling die chapter’s contribution to UNCF this year, states Stroud. According to the “United Negro College Fund Annual Report 19M” last year a total amount of $18, 329,878 was disbursed among 42 UNCF colleges. Specific amounts given to local colleges were: $457,250 to Johnson C. Smith Uni versity; $337,212 to Barber-Scotia College; and $500,111 to Livingstone College. “I have a particular feeling about the need and purpose behind UNCF,” brings up Farrar. "As long as any part of society finds itself unable to matriculate to higher edu-N cation because of deficiencies in. • SAT scores or lack of money, we must keep doors open for persons who have drive. We must keep a person’s potential in mind.” He urges that’s the value of the United , s'r * f;/ ; ; .
