UNITED WAY ‘KICKS-OFF’ AT FALL FAIR

Uxbridge – United Way of Ajax-Pickering-Uxbridge is “kicking-off” their 2004 campaign on Saturday September 11th at the Fall Fair in Uxbridge. This is the 34th annual fundraising campaign for United Way, the first kick-off they have held in Uxbridge.

      “We are extremely pleased to support residents of the Township of Uxbridge with funding to their local agencies,” says United Way’s Executive Director Edna Klazek. “We look forward to interacting with the community at the fair and answer any questions they have about our organization.”

      An informational booth will be setup at the fair, describing the services and agencies that United Way supports. Along with information, United Way Tattoos and balloons for children will also be distributed from the booth.

      In addition to having an information booth setup at the fair, United Way will also be entering a car into the demolition derby. The derby is symbolic of United Way’s plan to rebuild and strengthen the community.

      The fundraising goal for the 2004 campaign is $1.7M. “With continued support from the community of Uxbridge, we are confident that we can achieve this goal and continue funding to their local agencies.” Klazek noted.
