CCL Group 2008 United Way Executive Campaign

 

CCL Group member companies have proudly been involved in the United Way's Executive Campaign for a number of years now. Through payroll deduction and a variety of organized events orchestrated by a committee of CCL Group company employees, tens of thousands of dollars have been raised annually to support the Metro United Way and its funded organizations. 

The 2008 campaign ran for the week of November 17th-21st this year, and raised a total of just over $52,000, comfortably above the projected goal of $50,000 .  This year's theme - "Giving is a great way of living" - was introduced at the campaign kick-off party. The inspiried event also gave United Way representatives a chance to share insight, stories, and a beautiful campaign video demonstrating just how far a dollar can go.

This year, generous payroll deductions were complemented by a series of fun events such as the ever-popular mini golf tournament, The Price is Right-inspired Plinko game, a home-made Eggs Benny Breakfast (prepared by some of Colour's finest), and various raffles offering prizes ranging from a day off with pay to almost $200 in cash. 

 

The eventful week culminated with an online auction, which saw employees scheming or, as they would claim "strategizing" to outbid their co-workers to win a hybrid of fantastic prizes. Everything from an exotic getaway to Metro Centre Skybox tickets to stain-glass art was auctioned off, raising over $3000 for United Way. At the end of the day, the friendly competition was all in good fun, and for a very good cause.

 

Thank you to everyone who donated time, money, and prizes to CCL Group's 2008 United Way Executive Campaign. The level of involvement and generosity was fantastic - a testament to the type of people CCL Group employs. You all did CCL Group and the Metro United Way proud!
