United Way of Central Alberta's 2011 Campaign
Time to get excited! I am very proud to be the Co-chair of United Way of Central Alberta's 2011 Campaign. Along with Lars Rogers from CIBC, we are busy preparing for a fantastic campaign to raise much needed funds to ensure there is a better life for everyone in our community. Do you want to have fun? We would love for you to join us on this journey, come volunteer with us, you will not be disappointed!
We are looking for volunteers for our campaign cabinet and account executives who assist us in raising the money the agencies need in our community. Any extra funds raised this year will be allocated to programs helping kids be all they can be, but first we have to raise enough to fund the existing agencies so their programs continue to exist and are always available when someone in Central Alberta requires it.
1 in 3 Central Albertans will use an agency funded by United Way, maybe it's you, or your friend, your neighbor or your family and you may not even know they are using it. But it's wonderful that agency exists to provide the help. Let's all make sure this community stays great for everyone and the support will always be there when they need it!! Come join us!!!
