Spread the love and raise funds for the 2019 United Way campaign. Riley Brandt, ²ÝÝ®ÎÛÊÓƵµ¼º½

The ²ÝÝ®ÎÛÊÓƵµ¼º½ is filled with hard-working, dedicated faculty and staff who go above and beyond, every day. Everyone has benefited from the thoughtfulness of another team member, whether it’s making coffee first thing in the morning, or helping to finish an important presentation. SometimesÌýit’s hard to say thank you in a meaningful way during a busy work week.

That’s where ²ÝÝ®ÎÛÊÓƵµ¼º½â€™s Give ’n’ Thanks campaign comes in — it’s a fun way to recognize your colleagues and raise funds toward important Calgary programming that tackles some of the unignorable social issues facing our community. By writing messages of thanks, encouragement, or just letting someone know how they make our community a better place, you can have a play a part in our goal of raising $600,000 this year.

Share why you appreciate your colleagues with Give ‘n’ Thanks stars.
