Aujourd’hui, j’ai assisté en compagnie de Marjolaine Deslauriers et Marie-Pierre Aubé au dévoilement des résultats de la campagne Centraide du Grand Montréal. Malgré une période d’incertitude économique, c’est avec grande surprise que Centraide du Grand Montréal a divulgué une récolte de 54 287 884 $, par rapport à un objectif de 54 M$. Les meilleures campagnes à Montréal étaient affichées sur un écran géant et Molson Coors faisait partie du nombre. Bravo et merci à tous pour vos généreux dons. J’aimerais également remercier tous ceux qui ont participé d’une façon ou une autre à faire de cette campagne un franc succès!

Aujourd’hui, mardi 15 décembre 2009, c’est avec fierté que j’ai remis à notre représentant délégué de Centraide, monsieur Ivan Dussault, un chèque de 84 854,32 $ représentant la somme des dons équivalents pour les 17 Centraide au Québec. Cette somme représente l’équivalent des dons généreusement donnés par nos employés de Molson Coors au Québec. Comme vous pouvez voir sur la photo, M. Dussault était très heureux de recevoir cette contribution et extrêmement reconnaissant.

To follow up on my previous United Way blog post, Molson Coors Canada’s 2009 United Way campaign has come to a close, and after two weeks of donations, events, guest speakers and volunteering, I am THRILLED to announce that our employees stepped up to the challenge and donated/raised an AMAZING $640,000! (increase over last year by 5%!) This is an incredible result that shows just how passionate and committed Molson employees are to the communities that we work and live in.
Thank you to everyone who donated to our campaign (dollars and in-kind) and to this year’s United Way Committee – you guys rocked it. Congratulations on a successful campaign.
How about you? Do you have a United Way Campaign at your work or business? Do you participate?
Below are some photos from a fundraising pub night in Toronto

The last two weeks of October was Molson Coors Canada’s annual United Way campaign, and this year was MY first as a member of the National Committee. The first thing I’d like to say is”‘whew”. The second is “whew!”. Organizing a major campaign that raises hundreds of thousands of dollars is no easy task, but with a team of rockstar employees and incredible support from the United Way, we successfully completed our campaign with no (major) glitches!
We’re still tallying the final fundraising totals across the country, but I wanted to share a couple photos from events and also mention that United Way Toronto’s annual fundraising event, Rouge, is coming up!
What is Rouge?
“Rouge is a red-hot fundraiser not to be missed. It’s an evening of music, silent auction indulgences, and mingling. Experience an evening of mystery in mask leading up to midnight when everyone is revealed… Presented by United Way Toronto’s GenNext, this sizzling party brings people together in support of United Way Toronto’s Community Fund.” United Way Website
I got to spend some time chatting about Rouge with United Way’er Rebecca Chesley (@UWTGenNext) and decided that I’m going AND I want you to go! I have two tickets to give away to a reader and guest so they can experience Rouge themselves.
To enter for your chance to win the tickets, just leave a comment on this blog post or re-tweet the post including this link http://bit.ly/2hcGBf and @MolsonTonia. I’ll draw the winner on Thursday, November 12th (Note – must be legal drinking age)
