2011 Poly-Centraide campaign reaches... and exceeds...its goal!

December 22, 2011 - Source : NEWS
Once again this year, the Poly-Centraide campaign provided members of the Polytechnique community with an opportunity to do their part to improve the lives of disadvantaged members of society by contributing to the work of the Centraide / United Way organization.


The $80,000 campaign objective was 138.42% attained, with $110,738,35 raised. This success would not have been possible without the support of all those volunteers actively involved in the fundraiser, either on the Poly-Centraide Committee or within the different departments and offices.

Every year, the initiatives organized to raise money during the campaign become increasingly impressive in number, in originality and in the enthusiasm they create in our community. The 2011 campaign was no exception: activities included a book fair, dessert sale, choral singing, and more. 

The major fundraising events were also very successful: the spaghetti lunch, the bingo and the arts & crafts table. A superb spirit of teamwork was the main reason for the popularity of these activities. Heartiest congratulations to their organizers!

Thanks to the efforts of one and all, the Poly-Centraide campaign reached new heights of generosity, raising $5,435.54 more than last year.

On behalf of Polytechnique, thank you for giving Centraide / United Way the power to help!

See you next year!
