We just announced our goal

We just announced our goal this morning. We are hoping to raise $1,840,000 this year. Our strategy will be to recruit 225 NET new donors. We believe that if we can replace the donors who currently work at some of the plants that have announced they are clsoing their Sarnia operations, (or even maintain them as some will remain in the area and retire), plus recruit 225 new donors from other sectors of our community, we should reach our objectives.



Special thanks goes out to The Bagel Factory, and all their customers. Together, nearly $3,000 was raised for the United Way during the August 10 Family Fun Day, and the July "a buck a dozen bagels" promotion.



Although we will be announcing this event next week, I wanted to give readers of Dave's Blog, and all Sarnia Sting fans the heads up that we will again be involved in the traditional Black vs. White game on September 1 at the SSEC. Game time is 4:00 PM. $2 gets you into the game plus gives you chances to win free door prizes. We also have another surprise or two planned. The Black vs White game is the first real opportunity Sarnia Sting fans will have to evaluate this year's team, while is also the last opportunity those players "on the bubble" have to impress the Sting coaching staff to win a spot on the team.
