McMaster United Way Online Auction: Place a Bid and Give Back to the Halton-Hamilton Community!
Our community is full of potential—and when you give to United Way, you help ensure your friends and neighbours can thrive. Your support helps to ensure programs and services are available for those who need it most, when they need it most.
Our annual United Way Online Auction will be the perfect opportunity to give back to the Halton-Hamilton community. The auction will showcase amazing prizes, which in previous years has included sports tickets, conservation passes, and culinary experiences. All proceeds will go towards McMaster’s United Way campaign, which supports hundreds of agencies and programs in Halton and Hamilton.
We are asking for your support to help us surpass last year’s fundraising total of $276,000 and make the McMaster Campaign the largest workplace campaign in the Hamilton-Halton area once again.
Bidding will open on November 27th and will close on December 11th. Registration information coming soon!
