Employees with the City of Peterborough raised $24,914.14 in support of the United Way Peterborough and District’s 2025 campaign.
Most of the funds – $20,521.11 – came from employee payroll deductions, while another $4,393.03 was raised through workplace events, including a Chili Cookoff, Jar Wars, and an online auction featuring employee-donated items.
“I want to sincerely thank City employees for their incredible generosity and strong sense of community,” said Mayor Jeff Leal. “Their commitment to supporting United Way Peterborough and District reflects the values and passion for community that make our organization and our city stronger.”
“The level of support and enthusiasm from City employees was truly inspiring,” said Laken MacFarlane, the City’s United Way Campaign Chair. “The energy behind our fundraising activities reflects the pride and compassion staff have for the United Way and the programs it delivers in our community. We sincerely thank everyone who donated, volunteered, or helped organize events.”
A cheque was presented to the United Way at the start of the City Council meeting last night.
