Campaign finishes on a high note

THANK YOU!

THANKS to everyone who made a contribution to the 2010 ShareLife campaign before it concluded on July 31.

THANKS to everyone who volunteered their time to help the campaign along. Whether it was organizing a bake sale at work, helping out with a fun fair at a school, serving meals at a church charity dinner, or counting contributions after ShareLife Sunday collections at a parish, you made a difference.

THANKS to you all.

The final tally isn’t in yet but it looks like we’re on track for a record Parish Campaign! After falling nearly $300,000 behind previous results last year, Catholics in the Archdiocese of Toronto have stepped forward like never before to support the critical work of ShareLife funded agencies. It appears that we've recovered that lost ground and gained some as well - thanks, I'm sure, to the added incentive of the ShareLife Community Challenge! While we're not likely to reach the $12 million goal, we’re on track to surpass any amount ever raised before in the Parish Campaign.

When I know the results, I’ll pass it on to you here.

In the meantime, we can celebrate together! More than 225,000 people – each with a personal and unique story, and pain – will receive the care and support they need to lift themselves up and live with dignity. All with the help of generous ShareLife supporters.

Thank you once again. You are working wonders!
