May We Introduce…. our 2019 Campaign Cabinet Team!

This morning on the front lawn of the United Way of Peterborough and District office, David Goyette, 2019 Campaign Chair enthusiastically announced the 2019 Campaign Cabinet Team.

“I am proud to introduce this immensely committed team, and I thank them all for their time, energy and commitment,” stated Goyette.

The Cabinet Team holds an incredible responsibility. They are a hands-on team who are carefully selected based on their specific skills and dedication to making our community stronger. Members of the team will assist with key decision making around Campaign strategies, making phone calls to donors, visiting workplaces and organizing events.

And speaking of events – we have a long list of knock your socks off events coming up! Some of them are old favourites such as our Golf Tournament, Paint the Town Red and the United Way Petes game (with a twist). New events include: a 4-hour fundraising concert at Showplace featuring the best of Peterborough’s musical talent; a fashion show showcasing elegant women’s styles and costuming from the 1950s and 1960s; a major sledge hockey tournament involving local and provincial athletes; a promotional sports radio fundraiser featuring aspiring sports commentators; a community guitar jam and more!!

Details about these events and sponsorship opportunities will be available in the very near future.

Joining Goyette, was an ebullient Jim Russell CEO of the United Way. “We are pretty pumped by this line-up of community stars. We knew coming into this years Campaign that we would need to have a stellar team, in particular because of the upcoming federal election,” noted Russell reflecting on the particular challenge for 2019 of competing for the hearts and minds of the public.
