United Way of the Lower Mainland officially launched its 2011 fundraising campaign at Kick-Off at the Cauldron presented by Coast Capital Savings on Wednesday, September 7, 2011. More than 1,500 people gathered at Jack Poole plaza to hear the City of Vancouver proclaim United Way Day, to see the lighting of the cauldron and to renew their commitment to building a healthy, caring and inclusive community.
Attendees joined hosts Mark Madryga, Senior Meteorologist at Global News, and Nat & Drew, hosts of Breakfast with Nat & Drew on Virgin Radio, as they all partied with a purpose, with music by Dr. Strangelove.
Over the next few months, thousands of donors and volunteers in more than 1,000 workplaces across the Lower Mainland will be supporting the United Way Campaign. Warren Beach, Executive Vice President and CFO of Sierra Systems, and Deb Hewson, President and CEO of Odlum Brown Limited, are leading this year's United Way campaign. United Way of the Lower Mainland's goal is to raise $30.2 million dollars this year to help vulnerable children, families and seniors throughout the region.
