On Friday, September 13, 2019, a team of staff and lawyers from the MLT Aikins Winnipeg office participated in the 16th annual United Way Winnipeg 2019 Plane Pull and campaign kickoff.
The firm’s team joined 80 other teams from the local business community to take turns pulling a Lockheed C-130 Hercules or a Boeing 727 aircraft. At the event, Jeff Goy, President and CEO of Wawanesa Insurance and the volunteer Campaign Chair for United Way Winnipeg’s 2019/2020 Campaign announced a goal to raise $21.6 million this year for the community fund. The Plane Pull saw more than 2,000 people come out to support the United Way and brought in more than $88,673 towards the unprecedented goal.
The United Way Winnipeg is a non-profit charity that provides funding raised from donors and volunteer contributions to a community network of over 100 agency partners and programs. Individuals in need from the Winnipeg community access these services more than 340,000 times each year. Learn more about United Way Winnipeg.
