ºÚÁÏÍø±¬³Ô¹Ï community digs deep to benefit Centraide

Published: 2 August 2004

ºÚÁÏÍø±¬³Ô¹Ï staff and students dug deep into their pockets last year for Centraide. Heather Munroe-Blum, principal and vice-chancellor of ºÚÁÏÍø±¬³Ô¹Ï, announced the 2003 ºÚÁÏÍø±¬³Ô¹Ï Centraide Campaign raised $290,000.

Thanks to an increasing amount of pay deductions and fundraising events, from a silent auction to an evening of tango, the University community surpassed its goal by $20,000 (the target was $270,000). ºÚÁÏÍø±¬³Ô¹Ï was also a finalist for this year's Centraide Solidaires Award. ºÚÁÏÍø±¬³Ô¹Ï competed in the "employee campaign" category (1,000 or more employees). The Centraide awards are given each year in tribute to the leadership and social commitment of the volunteers and organizations who support Centraide of Greater Montreal.

Munroe-Blum also reported a 58 percent surge in Centraide donations at ºÚÁÏÍø±¬³Ô¹Ï over the past three years, thanks to an active campaign committee, as well as alumni and retirees who gave to Centraide via ºÚÁÏÍø±¬³Ô¹Ï. Anyone wishing to give to Centraide through ºÚÁÏÍø±¬³Ô¹Ï can visit the Centraide website.
