28 - The Oakville Beaver, Friday December 1, 2006 United Way seeks support to invest $2.25 million in Oakville U nited Way of Oakville's annual fundraising campaign is in fullswing, but needs your help to achieve its goal of investing $2.25 million in our community. "At United Way, we invest in more than 30 health and social service agencies to ensure Oakville residents have access to a strong social service network, both during the holidays and throughout the year," notes Barbara Burton, chief executive officer at United Way of Oakville. "A gift to United Way is truly an investment in the future of our community." In addition to providing core funding to local agencies, United Way of Oakville offers ongoing training and consulting programs to ensure that donor dollars are invested strategically and used to their full potential. "As a volunteer and business leader, I am continuously impressed by United Way's accountability to its donors," said Brendan Moore, president and CEO of Brendan Moore & Associates, Ltd. "I am proud to support an organization that sees the potential in individuals ­ and in our community-- and then takes action to make our community a better place for all." When you donate to United Way, your gift stays right here in the Oakville area to fund critical programs and services that affect thousands of people from all walks of life. You may even select which agencies you would like to direct your gift. Every gift has impact. For example: · $300 allows one child to attend camp for five days to improve social skills, develop self-confidence and enhance the child's development (Big Brothers Big Sisters of Halton). · $100 supports 15 calls to the Distress Line for crisis intervention and support (Distress Centre Oakville). · $60 helps two families promote healthy child development by providing access to information sessions on parenting techniques, like discipline, for ages four and up (Oakville Parent Child Centre). During this holiday season, take a moment to reflect on the important things in life and consider a gift to United Way. United Way of Oakville's annual fundraising campaign runs until December 22.
