Working Wonders at Work!

Whoa! Time has been moving quickly here...I'm overdue for an update.

These days, members of the ShareLife team are in the heat of the Corporate Campaign, asking corporations and business leaders to support the critical work of our agencies. We're also sending material to employees "in the trenches" at several companies, promoting our workplace giving options. The corporate community has consistently stepped forward in the past - some companies, such as the five big banks (TD, RBC, BMO, ScotiaBank, and CIBC), Marsh Canada, Great-West Life Assurance and more, have contributed to the campaign since its outset in 1976.

While the Corporate Campaign represents about 10% of the overall ShareLife fundraising effort, it is a crucial part of our activities, raising awareness among people in the workplace and maintaining important community partnerships. A contribution from a company is an endorsement of the important services our agencies provide. Together, ShareLife and the business community are working wonders!

On another note...

We have been contacted by a company that helps charities receive text message charitable donations. If you've used this technology before, let me know what you think.
