Community Building Awards - 2008 Campaign
~Pillar Award~
A pillar is a strong individual support to a building, typically out front and centre… This award is presented to an individual who put himself out front and centre and welcomed others in their workplace to join him in his efforts to raise awareness and involvement in the UW Campaign.
Gary Chaulk at CNRL shaved - not only his mustache and beard which he had been growing (I think since he could sprout facial hair) His wife had never seen him without it! Also offered his hair to increase the pledges. In all, with matching pledges from CNRL, his project raised $75,000 and Gary is definitely a pillar in our eyes.
~Cornerstone Award~
The cornerstones of historic buildings always ensured their foundations were solid… The importance of the person who designed the building or had a strong involvement in the project was often an engraved on that special stone for posterity… Our Cornerstone Award is being presented to a team –
This team built great team spirit and enthusiasm. By starting a great deal of fun that surrounded a “pink” hard-hat they developed wonderful comraderie that went far to increasing the awareness which is the cornerstone to a successful United Way campaign. Congratulations to Laird Electric
~President’s Award~
The UW president holds this important office for a one year term and has the honour of presenting this most prestigious award. Please welcome Anita Semple
The presidents award is for the highest employee participation. This is based on the total number of full time employees, divided by the total number of donors which gives you the participation percentage…
This year, with a total of 5,205 full time employees, of which 2,639 contributed, with 421 at the leader level, giving them a total of 51% participation and just edging out the nearest competition from Suncor at 47% is the winner of the President’s Award – Syncrude Canada
~The Blueprint Award~
No plan to build a home, an upgrader, or a great project can be undertaken without a great set of “Blueprints. A successful United Way campaign is no different. The Blueprint award is being presented to someone who had a vision of increasing the donor participation and the number of leader donors in his workplace. He created a “blueprint” to achieve this. ..
A personal invitation to a wonderful social event held in his own home could only be received after employees had committed to becoming a leader in their campaign. This prestigious evening was just the beginning of their success in 2008
Employee donations increased 108%aAnd The overall campaign from 2007 to 2008 showed a 93% increase! In addition the number of leader increased to 88 which is a 285% increase!
Congratulations to Larry Guthro of Finning Canada on receiving the Blueprint Award.
