United Way kicks off 2016 fundraising campaign in Kamloops
KAMLOOPS — The United Way touches thousands of lives. From children’s programs, helping the homeless, to assisting seniors, the money raised each year by the United Way says within the community. Last year, the United Way Thompson Nicola Cariboo raised over $2 million in the first year of their current three year campaign. This morning, the second year of that campaign kicked off, with the 55th Annual Kickoff Breakfast.
With the sun just peeking over the horizon, hundreds of people crowded into the Coast Conference Centre, for the United Way 2016 Campaign Kickoff Breakfast.
“It’s our 55th year, and we had 55 tables full of folks, rarin’ and ready to go, for our campaign and our community,” observed Danalee Baker, Executive Director of the Thompson Nicola Cariboo United Way.
