Annual PVNC United Way campaign launches Oct. 3

PVNC will be launching its annual United Way Campaign on Oct. 3, 2018.

The Board was proud to announce that it surpassed its United Way fundraising total in 2017.

Through special events at schools and the Catholic Education Centre and payroll contributions by staff, PVNC raised more than $61,000 for the four United Way campaigns in our jurisdiction.

“As a learning organization committed to the key principles of Catholic Social Teaching and to moving our faith into action, it is fantastic to see our staff and school communities give generously,” Director of Education Michael Nasello said. “From breakfast programs to social services, helplines to emergency shelters, we know that our students and their families rely on essential services supported by the United Way.”

This year’s goal will be set on Oct. 3 and a system-wide announcement will be made to all staff.

Proceeds will go to Peterborough and District United Way, Northumberland United Way, Durham United Way and City of Kawartha Lakes United Way.
