United Way raises $2 million despite challenging year
In perhaps their most challenging year yet, United Way Central Alberta still managed to surpass two million dollars in fundraising last year.
At their Community Celebration Breakfast Friday morning at the Holiday Inn, the United Way announced that their 52nd campaign in 2017 raised $2,040,126.
That’s down about five per cent from the 2016 campaign which brought in $2,145,640. A record amount of over $2.3 million was raised in 2014.
All things considered, United Way officials are thrilled with how last year’s campaign turned out.
