United Way Central Alberta Kicks Off 2024 Campaign, Focused on Thriving Communities and Local Impact

United Way Central Alberta (UWCA) officially launched its 2024 fundraising campaign at their Campaign Kickoff Luncheon, presented by Johnston Ming Manning LLP, and held at the Red Deer Resort & Casino on September 12th. The event gathered campaign leaders, partner agencies, and community supporters to celebrate the beginning of the campaign season, with a shared goal of building thriving communities across Central Alberta.

“We believe in the power of united action to solve complex social challenges and create lasting change,” said Chelsea O’Donoghue, CEO of United Way Central Alberta. “Together, we can help people thrive by ensuring access to Basic Needs, increasing access to Mental Health services, and creating Brighter Futures for Central Albertans.”

O’Donoghue highlighted that over 38,860 Central Albertans are currently facing barriers to accessing essential Basic Needs. With 1 in 5 individuals facing mental health challenges this year, the need for suitable mental health services is also critical. Additionally, 12.7% of children and youth in the region live in low-income households, while 40% of seniors live with disabilities, further emphasizing the importance of targeted community support.

“Your support is changing local lives,” O’Donoghue emphasized, and attendees heard from Client Ambassadors Dani and Des, whose stories demonstrated the powerful impact that community support can have. “They represent two of the more than 12,171 individuals and families who benefited from the 23 programs and projects funded by local dollars last year. And that doesn’t include the 22 additional charities we invested in through federal funding to build resilience in our communities.”

O’Donoghue thanked Leadership Matching Challenge Sponsors, Warren Sinclair LLP, and Canadian Tire North & South Red Deer for their ongoing support, noting that new leadership donations of $1,200 or more would be matched this year, doubling their impact.

The 2024 campaign features several community events, including the inaugural Kick Off 5K Run on September 22, the ever-popular UW Whisky Classic Tasting event on November 7, and multiple Days of Caring volunteer initiatives, Basic Needs drives, and workplace fundraising events throughout the fall.

United Way Central Alberta’s 2024 campaign has already received a significant boost, with over $100,000 raised. “This is a community effort,” said United Way Central Alberta Board Vice Chair, Doug Doran. “We’re already off to a great start, and I encourage everyone to get involved, share what they’ve learned, and support our mission to make Central Alberta a place where everyone can reach their potential.”
