Say that ten times quickly! Back to school marks a very busy time for most of us in the community - even if you don't have school age children, it's often a busy time at work, volunteer meetings resume, and of course everyone is getting ready for the United Way fundraising campaign.
We've got a fun-filled campaign ready for you, starting off with the Kick Off at the Sheraton Hotel on September 11th, and there is still time to get your tickets!
click here to purchase tickets. We also have free training sessions available to those lucky folks who will be organizing their campaign this year, with room still available on September 18th and 24th. We promise you will leave energized to run your campaigns.
Employee Campaign Coordinator TrainingWe already know that NOVA Chemicals, our biggest supporter, will be kicking off their workplace campaign next month, as will the City of Red Deer, and more to be announced!
Back to school also means that the Big Brothers, Big Sisters mentorship programs come back into action, and we know they are looking for volunteers to help with this program. The Tools for School program is also in full swing and in need of both volunteers and donations.
It's a busy time of year, but also our favourite - we get to see just how amazing and generous our community is, and we promise to share the best stories with you.
