Monday, July 19, 2010

On June 22 at the Winnipeg Art Gallery, the All Charities Campaign presented a cheque for $42,038.03 to the Children's Hospital Foundation of Manitoba.

The All Charities Campaign is registered as a Private Foundation under the Canada Revenue Agency and categorized as an Employees' Charity Trust. All Charities is a workplace campaign that enables employees to donate to charities of their choice through the convenience of payroll deduction or a one-time gift by cash or cheque. The All Charities Campaign is volunteer driven by employees of the Manitoba Government and its affiliates. The decision of how much to give and to which charities is left entirely up to each individual donor. Since its inception in 1966, the All Charities Campaign has raised nearly $29 million for thousands of charities within Manitoba and across Canada.

On behalf of the Children's Hospital Foundation of Manitoba, thank you to all the donors who contributed to the All Charities Campaign!
