If you’ve heard of 29 Leaps, then you’ve heard of Madi MacIntyre. We are pleased to welcome her to the team as our Youth Champion.  Madi comes to us on the heels of her successful campaign - 29 leaps. We are thrilled to have her working with KW’s youth to help make a difference in our community. Madi will be giving updates through video blogs, twitter and facebook @Youth4ChangeKW.  Make sure you follow Madi on her journey.

Check out Madi’s latest video discussing her goals for United Way KW and the youth in our community! 

Jennifer Allan - 2012 Campaign Champion

We’ve got ourselves a Champion...

A champion of change.

 

Every team needs a captain to help empower its players to rise above and go for the gold. In the recent London Olympic Games, we saw Canada’s own Christine Sinclair lead the women’s soccer team to victory!  United Way KW may not be an Olympic team but each campaign needs a captain who will help drive the campaign to goal.  We call this role the Campaign and Leadership Champion.

Meet Jennifer Allan our Campaign and Leadership Champion this year.  An avid supporter of United Way KW and a 17-year employee of Economical Insurance, Jennifer was named Vice President, HR Programs and Corporate Communications in mid 2011. 

As the captain of our campaign team, Jennifer fills a very public role.  Jennifer is going to help us ramp up the energy and enthusiasm in the community by acting as the voice and face of the campaign. Much like Christine Sinclair did for her team during the games.

Our staff is pleased to have someone with Jennifer’s experience and passion leading the way beside us.

“I had the privilege of leading Economical's leader donor campaign for the past two years. I know how critical leader donations are. I'm so excited to share my enthusiasm for United Way KW and the impact it makes in our community.” - Jennifer Allan.

Thank you to Jennifer for volunteering to help us raise needed funds for this community.  Let’s go for the gold!
