This year I am part of the fundraising cabinet for the Milton United Way. Its a privilege working with such a great organization that touches so many lives, especially here in town. 1 in 4 families in Milton use a United Way funded service. Its not all about poverty and being down trodden. Regular families who need a hand up or some assistance use these programs and we’re very lucky in our community to have them.
Throughout the year there are a number of amazing fundraising events held by the Milton United Way. Recently in the first ever 10km run & 5km walk, the United Way, with the help of the people of Milton, raised over $ 19,000! The Annual Curling Bonspiel raised $ 15,000! NOW…the next event that will help us reach the goal of $ 685,000!!!! The United Way Country Christmas Tour.
Tickets are sold out for Friday’s Limo tour but self ride tickets for Saturday are still available.
