United Way starting to sell tickets for this year’s virtual Kickoff Campaign Breakfast
KAMLOOPS — The United Way’s annual Kickoff Campaign Breakfast is not happening in person this year, but the organization that helps non-profits in the region is conducting an online event in a couple of weeks.
Tickets for the United Way’s Sunrise Kickoff on Oct. 1 can be purchased starting on Monday (Sept. 14). While it won’t be the same atmosphere as you eat your breakfast from home, the money raised is just as needed, especially during a global pandemic.
“It’ll be a lot of fun. Very different than other years, but the purpose is the same. This is our big launch into the campaign for 2020, and that campaign is raising money for our community, the charities that are right here in our region and this is how we kickstart it,” said interim executive director of the Thompson-Nicola-Cariboo (TNC) United Way Katie Neustaeter.
