Thousands of Thanks for Millions of Dollars.

What a year it's been!

I've had the most incredible experience as 2007 Campaign Chair for United Way of Winnipeg. I've been to almost every corner of our diverse community and met so many amazing people whose lives have been touched by this organization.

There are thousands of stories to tell and thousands of successes to share, all because Winnipeggers are a caring, determined and generous group of people who always rise to the challenge.

Over the past year, thousands of you invested time and money to help raise a record $17 million. Thank you to all those volunteers and donors who continue to support United Way year after year; from retirees to corporate leaders; unionized and non-unionized workplaces and everyone in between. Your support has been critical to our success and is greatly appreciated. We couldn't have made it to $17 million without you.

It's a great example of how people from all walks of life can affect steady, positive change in our city.

Thank you to all those Leaders - including over 600 new Leadership donors - who met our ambitious Leadership Challenge with personal donations of $1,200 or more. Thank you also to the challengers who contributed another $250,000 when we reached our goal.

I look forward to even bigger and better things for Winnipeg in 2008, with our new Campaign Chair Bob Silver leading the charge.

Together, we're making a difference by helping create opportunities for a good life for all Winnipeggers.
