United Way's iClimb Has Record Year

A record number of participants in Wednesday's United Way iClimb event raised more than $55,500 to support mental health services in the community.

The ninth annual event at the WFCU Centre attracted participants from 32 schools, 30 workplace teams, and 2,400 individuals who all climbed 1,000 steps to support the cause.

“Not only does iClimb for United Way help families in need, but it encourages the climbers to improve their own mental wellness through physical activity,” said Lorraine Goddard, CEO of United Way. “I would call that a double success!”

The fundraiser supports United Way's Counselling and Supports Strategy that helps around 2,300 people a year. Its aim is to ensure people know where they can go for counselling that is accessible and affordable.
