The United Way Perth-Huron (UWPH) had a successful Spirit of Community fundraiser as they celebrate record-breaking numbers.
Members of the UWPH gathered on Thursday celebrating a total of $2,356,497 raised in the campaign, plus an additional $542,050 for United Housing. The grand total was just under $2.9 million.
“It may sound cliché, but our donors and volunteers really are what makes our organization tick,” said Ryan Erb, UWPH executive director.
“There are so many challenges we face as a region that are beyond our control. Despite that, the people of Perth-Huron continue to support the work we’re doing. We are grateful for the trust our community places in United Way to deliver important programs and services.”
Campaign co-chairs, Kristin Sainsbury and John Wolfe, said they are extremely grateful for the generosity of the community.
“So many people stepped up to support United Way with money, time, or both,” they said.
“The amazing people of Perth-Huron made this campaign a success.”
