OpenEd Surpasses Fundraising Goal of $10,500 for United Way

While candy and treats are typically the only things given at Halloween, the staff at Open Learning and Educational Support (OpenEd) generously gave to United Way through a Halloween coffee break social. In the short span of an hour, OpenEd donated more than $100 to the campaign, and raised $90 plus three boxes of items for the Guelph Student Food Bank Drive.

To date, OpenEd has collected more than $11,500 for United Way, surpassing the initial goal of $10,500.

During the social, there were many fun ways to donate while enjoying the Halloween spirit. There were two door prizes, a candy jar guessing game, and a wild card game of chance. Congratulations to the winners of the prizes: Rich Couto, Karen Hyland, Steve Borho, Sharon Campbell-Claessens and David Macdonald.
