Bug push for United Way

Members of the media are invited to the University of Victoria on Sunday, Oct. 27 for the annual VW Bug Push, a fundraising event for the UVic 2013 United Way campaign. Teams of UVic students, faculty, along with staff and corporate teams from across Victoria, will test their stamina, have fun and raise funds while manually pushing a hollowed-out 1972 VW Beetle around UVic’s 2.2-km Ring Road.

The event takes place from 6 a.m. to 6 p.m. At 9 a.m. representatives of UVic’s United Way campaign and United Way Greater Victoria will be available to speak to media.
