Campaign 2010 totals

$1,620,000

Thank you Greater Simcoe County!

In 2010, United Way of Greater Simcoe County launched the most ambitious campaign in its 51-year history. On February 17, 2011, at its annual Awards & Achievement Celebration, 2010 Campaign Cabinet Co-chairs Brad Truelove & Lt. Col. Robert Hart announced a fundraising total that exceeded UWGSC's $1.6 million goal.

Thank you to everyone who made that possible.

That money will be re-invested in our community to make it stronger for everyone.

Without you, there would be no way.
