The Queen’s United Way campaign is within sight of its goal and needs a final push to cross the finish line.

The Touchdown Breakfast, which marks the end of the fundraising campaign for the United Way of Kingston, Frontenac, Lennox and Addington, is scheduled for Friday, Nov. 24 and the Queen’s United Way campaign stands at just over $400,000, 82 per cent of the $490,000 goal.

This year’s overall campaign goal for the United Way KFLA is $3.82 million.

Queen’s donors play a critical role in supporting more than 54,000 individuals in our community through the campaign. These essential funds are critical to supporting programs that help to advance our goals of No Poverty, Zero Hunger, Gender Equality, and Quality and Education in our community.

Queen’s staff, faculty, and retirees are leaders in the community and have come together to create the largest workplace and retiree campaign within the region. A report by Deloitte showed that Queen’s community members annually raise well over $1 million to support local causes while students put in thousands of volunteer hours with local agencies and programs.

To join the campaign and donate, visit the Queen’s United Way site and follow the instructions. Previous donors who have accepted automatic renewal can also use this link to increase their annual pledge.

Donations for the Queen’s campaign will continue to be collected after the Touchdown Breakfast.
