2009 United Way Campaign Update

Make Hope Real with the United Way

September 29, 2009

The United Way has initiated a new theme for its annual giving campaign entitled: Make Hope Real. The United Way supports 27 different community partners in the Central Okanagan alone, helping to make communities a better place for all to live. This year’s goal for the United Way for the Central and South Okanagan is to raise $1.3 million.

If you would like to help the United Way in their campaign please follow this link to a pledge form, or contact your Regional Dean’s office. This year, the College’s United Way campaign will be coordinated through the Regional Deans’ offices so stay tuned for more United Way events and information over the next month. Thanks for your support.

2008 United Way Campaign Update

The 2008 United Way campaign is now complete. THANK YOU to everyone who participated in our annual campaign at Okanagan College.

That is an increase of over $1000 from our 2007 campaign!

And a big thanks to our volunteers at the Halloween BBQ:
