Message from the 2010 United Way Co-Chairs

Dear McMaster University Community Members,

Each year, faculty, staff, retirees and students have a special opportunity to give back to our community, to help reduce and prevent poverty, strengthen neighbourhoods and support seniors. Just by contributing to the McMaster University United Way workplace campaign, you can make a real difference in the lives of others.

In 2009 our McMaster community gave generously yet again, setting a McMaster record by contributing over $250,000. Our financial goal in 2010 is to be determined. In 2009, over 218,000 people in our region accessed one or more of the 137 United Way funded programs and services being delivered through 75 community agencies.

Imagine what our workplace campaign could achieve if the members of the McMaster community united with a single purpose: to create possibilities and opportunities for those in our community who need it most. Imagine what a real difference we could make.

With thanks for your support,

Michele Corbeil, Ken Cruikshank and Maya Kanani
Co-Chairs,
McMaster United: Every One, Every Day, Every Way
