Happy Halloween 🎃 from the United Way Peterborough & District team!
What a fun day at @gmfinancial Peterborough centre yesterday celebrating their United Way Campaign!
Did you know the GM Financial has been supporting United Way Peterborough and District since 2002⁉️
Over the years their team has gotten very creative when it comes to fundraising activities ➡️ swipe to see some of this years shenanigans. The “Cookie Face Challenge” was a part of a minute to win it style face off between team leads and members of the senior leadership team!
Thank you so much to the team at @gmfinancial for your ongoing support. Your contributions go a long way in supporting our neighbours ❤️.
We are so happy to be back at our Stewart St. office after a couple of weeks working remotely due to aforementioned “unforeseen circumstances”! Come by and say hello! The team has missed you.
The United Way Ultimate Burger Battle returns this November, and we couldn’t be more excited after all the fun we had last year🍔✨!
Let us know your FAVOURITE burger in Peterborough and County in the comments below ⬇️ tell us your go to spot and we’ll see if they have what it takes!
