A3: I got the idea from people that come in during previous campaigns to sell Tupperware, Discovery Toys, etc to staff. They donate a percentage of sales to the United Way campaign. So what I do is buy Senators tickets and sell them to staff and donate the profits to the camapign. It has been $10 per ticket to charity. I started doing this while at Ontario Ministry of Finance and now I am working at the Ministry of Health (MOHLTC). The MOHLTC United Way team really took the initiative on promoting this event and I thank them very much for that! Staff from all Ontario Ministries participate. How the United Way donation is split among Ministry camapigns is decided based on where purchaser’s work unless otherwise specified and arranged. MCSCS has benefited for the last 2 years for example.
