8 Wing/CFB Trenton presented a cheque for almost $200,000 to United Way Hastings Prince Edward on Friday.
The $196,235.91 raised through the annual National Defence Workplace Charitable Campaign in 2021 is a record.
The theme of last year’s campaign was “Apart But Together At Heart” as the COVID-19 pandemic impacted the way their fundraising events were held.
Wing Commander Colonel Ryan Deming says he is humbled by the generosity of 8 Wing’s personnel.
Master Warrant Officer Susana Keyes, 8 Wing/CFB Trenton NDWCC Co-Chair says the donations will undoubtedly have a hugely positive impact on many lives.
8 Wing/CFB Trenton have been in collaboration with United Way Hastings & Prince Edward since 1991.
The 2020 campaign raised more than $155,000.
