United Way launches 2019 campaign with kickoff breakfast
The Battlefords United Way had a successful breakfast launch Thursday to kick off this year’s fundraising campaign.
Event Campaign Coordinator Sharon Mohagen said the non profit’s blitz attracted support from businesses and residents alike for the campaign start in October.
About $2,000 was raised at the breakfast. The goal for the entire 2019 campaign, which ends around the middle of November, is $180,000. The United Way will have another fundraiser in the new year.
Mohagen said a number of businesses stepped forward as sponsors to show their support for the campaign launch at the Dekker Centre.
