68% and Going Strong!

I greatly appreciate all of the support that so many of my friends, family, and co-workers have given to me throughout the fall for the Women United for Community fundraiser, in support of our local United Way.

As of tonight we are at 68% of our $85,000 goal - all of these contributions will stay right here in HRM and make a significant impact - thank you to everyone who has donated so far.

For anyone who has not yet donated, please contribute now. Our online donation system is still available, so please click the link below and help our community be a safe and supportive place for everyone to live and grow.

Forward Thinking

It is all about the future and making our community a better place for our children and our children's children. Our local United Way proudly supports agencies and programs that foster development and initiatives that contribute to building a stronger and more vibrant community. 

In addition to our agencies and programs, we have a young girl who is involved in the fundraiser that I am taking part in this fall. Her name is Riley Paris and she goes to Ward 5 Community Center's after school program. Riley is a sweetheart and has had this to say:

"I believe in my future. I am a grade 4 student in French Immersion. I like to hang out with my friends, swim, run, and watch movies. My sister and I go to Ward 5 Community Centre to an after school program that is funded by United Way’s Community Fund. We love being there with our friends and having a safe place to go after school.I’d like to be a veterinarian when I grow up."
