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 United Way Campaign. 
Gary Chaulk at CNRL shaved - not only his mustache and beard which he had been growing. 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 United Way president holds this important office for a one year term and has the honour of presenting this most prestigious award. 
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…
