United Way aims for $30M in 2012 campaign.
United Way volunteers and supporters rallied at the CE Centre Thursday morning for the announcement of the 2012 United Way Community Campaign goal. The charitable organization is hoping to raise $30 million to support a host of community programs and services.
United Way also announced its campaign would have eight “Focus Area Champions,” who can tell potential supporters about the need for programs aimed at youth, programs that integrate immigrants and the disabled into the community and programs that are aimed at as United Way calls it “turning lives around.
