A huge thank you
Letter to the Editor
A huge thank you to all the businesses, organizations and individuals who supported this year’s Park on Us event held on September 18. This is the only annual fundraiser held by the United Way East Kootenay and has raised around $15,000 in the past two years. Raising this amount means that community investments continue to increase. This year $97,785 has been invested in the East Kootenay realizing a 24.9% increase over 2014 investments.
Moving further into the fall campaign towards a target of $175,000 we ask that all residents support ‘Improving Lives Locally’ by making a minimum donation of $10 to United Way. You will receive a receipt for income tax purposes and you will be part of making your community a more caring, healthier place for all.
October is United Way month and may be a great time to schedule making your annual donation.
The United Way office on 930 Baker Street is open Monday to Thursday 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. if you wish to bring in your donation or you can mail to Box 657, Cranbrook, V1C 4J2. You may wish to call in credit card information to 250-426-8833. When phoning in if your call is not answered please leave your name and phone number and I will return your call.
Again thanks to all United Way supporters your support ensures our successes, you are so appreciated.
United Way East Kootenay
