Pledge Campaign Update
BEE HAPPY that so many pledges have been made and that the Stewardship campaign ends on the 21st, the first day of spring. Thank you to everyone who has pledged to make our future at UUCSC beautiful. We will continue to need your support in other ways though because we were not able at this time to reach the Stewardship goal of $200,000. However, we can work together to make our hive thrive because our success is MEANT TO BEE!
