Town Traffic Employee Graduates from Training Course in Aylmer by Andrea Adair Although the annual United Way fund raising campaign is still a few months away, the Bowmanville Bowmanville Lions Club was recently recently reminded of the importance importance of the organization. Nancy Scott, administrator administrator with the Big Brothers agency in Newcastle, spoke to members of the club Monday Monday night about how the campaign works and where the tuna raising dollars go. Dollars ana volunteers, she said, are two important elements that help keep the non-profit organizations running, adding that there are close to 2.000 volunteers working with the United Way. It is these volunteers who "make the campaign successful". Mrs. Scott explained that the majority of funds raised through the campaign come from employee deductions at their place of work, although there are some specific fund raising events held in the fall for the United Way. As examples she mentioned mentioned the Turkey Trot, held each year at Durham College, College, and a fashion show put on by the United Way. Some bf-the agencies that receive funding from the organization, organization, such as Big Brothers, also hold events. She said Big Brothers Were planning to hold a car wash in the fall to help raise money. money. The money raised during the course- of the campaign goes directly back into tne community. Only 7. 6 per cent of funds raised is used by the United Way for administration administration purposes. Mrs. Scott stated that without the help of the United United Way, 42 non-profit agencies agencies in Oshawa, Whitby and Newcastle wouldn't survive. Agencies such as Block Parents, Community Care and Big Sisters all receive funding from the larger organization. organization. Big Brothers of Newcastle, Newcastle, sne remarkèd, raise 30 per cent of their funds through their own efforts during the year but rely on the United Wav for the remainder remainder of the funding. "We wouldn't survive without them," she said. To illustrate how the campaign dollars are spent, Mrs. Scott discussed Big Brothers, an organization designed to benefit the younger members of the community. Big Brothers encourages the match and friendship between between a fatherless boy and an adult male. She said the child quite often is having behavioural problems, emanating frequently frequently from low self-esteem sne said. The adult male who decides decides to help the boy. provides provides friendship and guidance, guidance, becoming a role model to the child. When a Little Brother is matched with a Big Brother, Mrs. Scott says "We are putting putting a boy with a man m a position of trust. We have to make sure the boy can trust him." For that reason, potential Big Brothers go through an extensive screening process. The process demands a lot of time and a lot of money, money, she said. She repeated that "I think there is a real need for. an organization such as Big Brothers but it wouldn't exist exist without the United Way. I don't think the other 41 organizations organizations could exist without without them either." "However," she added, "even the United Way couldn't exist without you: the community." April.
