Fun ways to build a better community
Our annual events are a great way to come together with, and for, community. Your participation powers our network of community agencies, ensuring people across the GTA can get much-needed support, close to home. Invite friends, co-workers and neighbours to join you and help us strengthen the places where we live, work and raise our families.
Host an event at your workplace
Engage your colleagues virtually or in-person.
Does your workplace run a United Way employee giving campaign? Consider incorporating one or more of these group volunteer and workplace event ideas to bring some awareness raising and fun to your fundraising.
Host an event with friends and family
Virtually, in the community or at home—any time!
Hosting your own fundraising event is a great way to give back—on your own time and in your own unique way. Share your event idea and download United Way’s event fundraising toolkit to get started.
