United Way Campaign – Week 2
October 26, 2018
To: All MoveUP members at BC Hydro
Hi All,
Two weeks into the campaign and we are trending in a great direction. The campaign total is over $267,000 which represents 52% of the goal. MoveUP members have contributed over $52,000 toward the total donations.
There have been many questions around why BC Hydro has partnered with United Way. Here are some facts to know:
- There are 10 United Way offices throughout BC and they are 100% local.
- Your donation stays in your community based on your postal code.
- United Way focuses on three main areas and takes a preventative approach to help prevent crises before they start.
- Everything United Way does is made possible by donors like you.
Employees do have the option to make a general donation or direct/designate it so it goes where you feel it is most needed. This year, much like last year, BC Hydro will cover the cost of the $12 fee for each directed/designated donation.
Your donations help to provide those in our community access to programs that can help re-start their lives and provide a brighter future. Click here to read Travis’s story.
There are a few events happening around the province, but we would love to see more. If you are able to, please sign up to be a volunteer and plan a campaign at your work place. Planning is very easy and events can be as simple as a card drop to raise awareness. Please visit the campaign site on HydroWeb for more information.
In solidarity,
Anderson Charles | MoveUP United Way Campaign Representative
