United Way in party mode as it prepares to reveal the 2024 campaign result

It’s been a long road to this point, but United Way of Peterborough and District staff and volunteers are ready to party.

A celebration of the 2024 campaign result will be held April 24th at the McDonnel Street Community Centre, complete with a buffet dinner, music and all the hoopla you’d expect to mark the end of the campaign. Tickets cost $35 and are available online at www.uwpeterborough.ca.

While United Way CEO Jim Russell won’t say whether the campaign achieved or surpassed its $1.5 million goal, he promises a very positive vibe in the room that will celebrate community as much as the total.

Russell says recovery from the challenging pandemic years saw this campaign’s strategy shift to a more personal touch in terms of donor outreach.

Noting there are multiple reasons to celebrate, Russell says the campaign wrap-up event will be nothing short of a party.
