Employee Campaign Awards highlight businesses who sincerely care about their employees and the wellbeing of Thunder Bay.

Last year, 53% of all money raised by the United Way was given through employee donations alone. Your donations truly make the biggest difference!

Over 250 workplaces in Thunder Bay participate in Employee Fundraising Campaigns for United Way. In return, we award their participation with annual Employee Group Awards.

Workplace campaigns build morale. In addition, payroll deduction is easy and special events generate fun and enthusiasm. The campaign also includes donations made through individual gifts.
