National Bank and its Employees Donate $3,105,176 to United Way of Canada
(firmenpresse) - MONTREAL, QUEBEC -- (Marketwire) -- 01/31/12 -- National Bank is very pleased to donate more than $3.1 million to United Way of Canada. This amount represents donations made by current and retired employees, as well as a corporate donation from National Bank. The Bank's annual United Way campaign counts on the generosity and support of thousands of donators and volunteers. The commitment of Bank employees is undeniable, and is reflected in this year' results-an increase of more than 10% over last year.
United Way derives most of its funding from corporate fundraising campaigns like the one organized by the Bank each year. The money raised will be used to support numerous programs and social services devoted to improving the quality of life of Canadians in sectors benefiting the most from their outreach.
"For more than 30 years, National Bank's employees, both current and retired, have been helping to support the outreach of thousands of charitable foundations across Canada. I'm extremely proud to see how, through our annual United Way campaign, we're working together to make lasting changes in our community," stated Louis Vachon, President and Chief Executive Officer at National Bank.
Every year, through its donations and sponsorships program and the initiatives of its employees, National Bank helps support hundreds of organizations across Canada. It focuses primarily on four main areas of activity-health, education, arts and culture, and community outreach-with the goal of generating positive benefits for communities.
