We are #SoClose – only 5% from Goal.

All the workplace campaigns, individual donations, community events, chilli competitions and barbecues have led to some exciting news for United Way Peterborough & District. Neil Morton, 2017 Campaign Chair, and Jim Russell, CEO, are thrilled to announce that with the generous support of the community United Way Peterborough is only $99,000 from goal.

Neil Morton expressed his excitement at the momentum of this year’s campaign. “This campaign has seen numerous success including many workplaces like Trent University exceeding their goals, the introduction of our inaugural Petes Plaid night, and a very generous anonymous donor providing $30k to match leadership level donations. All of this has happened while faced with the challenge of the announced closure of General Electric. The generosity of this community continues to humble and inspire me.”

Jim Russell also referenced the injection of fun that took place this year with adopting the Plaid Campaign theme. Russell stated “the introduction of plaid into the campaign zeitgeist brought back the fun to our campaign. Many workplaces joined the plaid challenge to help us get to this result.”

With just over four (4) weeks left until its community celebration on March 29th, United Way Peterborough is reminding the community there is still time to give! Bob Gauvreau, Campaign Vice-Chair, has issued a $5K challenge to community and business leaders to help the organization cross the finish line on its campaign. If you haven’t made a gift, please do it today! If you have made a gift, consider giving just a little bit more this year. Consider doing a quick fundraising event at your business – An extra $500 from our corporate and workplace partners will go a long way in helping us reach that finish line!

It’s with a profound sadness that United Way Peterborough and District, staff, Board of Directors, and Campaign Cabinet remember and celebrate the life and legacy of Ann Farquharson.

Ann was a dedicated member of our Campaign Cabinet - a community builder with admirable determination. Her legacy spans decades of dedicated civic leadership, and her impact is woven into every corner of our community. We will miss Ann’s voice in our community, and around our tables.

To her family, many friends, and colleagues: we offer our deepest condolences. To our United Way community: we pledge to honour her memory by continuing the work that she so believed in.

Thank you, Ann.
