UWO officials also recognized the campaign rested on the efforts of the many volunteers and UWO staff and the dollars of generous donors. At the start of the campaign, Live United was the call to action and the Oakville commu- nity stepped up to the challenge, said Cardamone. You have given, you have believed and you have inspired. Thank you, said Cardamone. Noting that she was the only woman on the cabinet, Cardamone joked that she thoroughly enjoyed the groups early morning meetings. Sheridan president Jeff Zabudsky, a new cabinet member this year and next years cam- paign chair, joked that Cardamone ran a tough ship and he often left the meetings feeling a little bruised after being prodded and poked into working harder to meet the campaign goal. In true theatre style, the cabinet members took to the stage clad in top hats and black jackets, did a few can-cans and then peeled off those jackets and flung them into the crowd before turning around to reveal the 2010 cam- paign tally on the backs of their t-shirts. Zabudsky is a good pick to lead next years UWO campaign. Amid dozens of accolades rec- ognizing specific accomplishments in this years campaign, Sheridan College received the Best Campaign award. Sheridans campaign achieved a 300 per cent boost in donations. With 19 years of running a UWO campaign to its credit, the college boosted donations this year from $14,000 to $60,000. It increased involvement at its leadership level from one to 11 people, said emcee and radio personality Lou Schivas. The colleges leadership dona- tions will be matched by the Sprott Family Foundation of Oakville. As UWO board chair Tim Johnston thanked campaign leaders, donors and volunteers, he noted, Many people in Oakville will be touched by your generosity. Babur Mobarak, 40, program co-ordinator for community settlement at the Halton Multicultural Council (HMC) in Oakville, took to the stage to speak about how the UWO helped him. Mobarak came to Canada six years ago from Aghanistan. He settled in Milton and has worked in Oakville for the last four years. He makes his home here now with his wife and four children ranging in age from 11 years to 20 months. With a bachelor of arts in English literature under his belt, Mobarak said language is the largest hindrance facing newcomers, who must use language to ask for settlement serv- ices or they will remain in need. Mobarak said it was United Way-funded agencies that helped him find work, a place to live and language classes. He now has two English students at home, his oldest two sons, who are constantly cor- recting his language skills. While a round of applause went to Mattamy Homes founder and CEO Peter Gilgan, whose company recently handed over a $100,000 cheque to the UWO 2010 campaign, it was Mattamy employee Dave Stewart, who earned an Outstanding Campaign Volunteer award. Cardamone said Stewart was a pleasure to work with, devoted much time and canvassed five new home developers to the UWO cam- paign.
