Over 1 300 Winnipeggers from the business, labour, government and non-profit sectors helped get the city-wide campaign airborne at Red River College's Stevenson Campus by competing in the 6th Annual Plane Pull. Battling for fastest time to tug a commercial jet aircraft a designated distance, teams also vied for prizes and bragging rights for best cheer and best dress.

United Way's 2009 Campaign Cabinet rolled in on a school bus, announcing the theme of this year's event-education, one of United Way's three strategic priority areas. As president of Red River College, it's also an area near and dear to Zabudsky's heart.

Although today marks the official beginning, the 2009 Campaign is already off to a soaring start thanks to Pacesetter workplaces who exemplify leadership by starting and completing their campaigns early. As a result of hard work and enthusiasm, $7 089 261, or 39% of this year's goal has already been raised!
