2010 Press Release – United Way Pays Tribute to Community
2010 Press Release – United Way recognizes community campaigns and leadership
We’re challenging everyone in Central Alberta who has a job – to help those who currently don’t have one.
We only have a short time remaining in our 2009 campaign, and we know that every penny counts, and we need every penny to help those who have been left behind or set back by the economic downturn.
So please, donate your hour of pay today, and then send your friends and family this link and encourage them to join you.
Thank you for your support!

2009 Touchdown Celebration Invitation
Campaign Chair, Darcy Mykytyshyn issues an urgent appeal to Central Albertans to help in the final stretches of the campaign. For the first time in 22 years, there is a very real possibility that United Way will fall short in meeting its goal.
Now, more than ever, agency staff are working harder to meet the increased demand for services, with some agencies experiencing increases of up to 38%. Now, more than ever, these agencies – and the community – need United Way to reach its goal.
Please act now!
