Centraide of Greater Montreal annouces co-chairs for its 2021 campaign<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Montreal, May 1<\/strong>7<\/strong>, 2021 <\/strong>–<\/strong> The business community is already mobilizing for Centraide of Greater Montreal\u2019s 2021 campaign, which will officially launch this fall. The campaign cabinet will be co-chaired by Maria Della Posta<\/strong>, President of Pratt & Whitney Canada, and Darryl White<\/strong>, CEO of BMO Financial Group.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

These volunteers will work with 80 leaders from a variety of activity sectors. The campaign cabinet<\/a> will support Centraide\u2019s efforts to raise donations from companies and organizations.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This funding will support hundreds of community agencies that provide essential services to vulnerable populations hit hard by the health crisis. Much remains to be done in the face of growing inequalities and ever-increasing needs. Donor support in the coming months will be crucial, especially as the social impacts of the pandemic continue to unfold.   <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our campaign teams and volunteers are already hard at work to solicit the donations that Centraide\u2019s entire agency network depends on.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n
