A Word From Our Chairs

Diana Panter, Staff Co-Chair

I became acquainted with the Brock University workplace campaign for the United Way shortly after arriving on campus. The dedication of the United Way to the people of Niagara inspired and compelled me to become involved.

It’s through this involvement that I learned just how invaluable the United Way’s services are. These services take many forms, including support for children, seniors or people with disabilities, emergency food assistance, transportation to medical appointments, as well as access to recreational programs for youth. They are desperately needed for those who have lost their jobs, are experiencing financial hardship and, in some cases, struggle with an illness. The United Way assists those who need it the most.  

This year, the Brock United Way committee will run our biggest campaign ever. I challenge you to support this worthwhile cause, to show you care about your community. Consider making a donation today, regardless of size, to help us reach our goal. If you’re unable to donate, consider volunteering. Your support will improve life for Niagara’s citizens and demonstrate Brock’s commitment to our community.

Sincerely,
Diana Panter

I am honoured to be involved in Brock University’s 2011-12 United Way Campaign.

I have been a long-time supporter of the United Way. I choose to donate to the United Way because I believe in the important work they achieve and in the resources they provide to various social agencies, services, and programs for various groups, for example, children and youth, people with disabilities, families, seniors, people living in poverty, victims of violence, and people requiring emergency services.

I believe the United Way has an extensive reach within our community and fulfills important needs for many people. By donating to the United Way Campaign, I feel I contribute to the overall health and well-being of my community. Please join me in supporting Brock University’s 2011-12 United Way Campaign!
