Jewish Toronto rallies for United Way

More than one thousand Torontonians from across the city took part in the recent Rally for United Way held at Dundas Square in downtown Toronto. The rally, which helped kick off this year’s United Way campaign, had a decidedly Jewish flavour to it as dozens of employees and lay leaders from Jewish agencies that are also United Way agencies participated.

Making the trip south (see above photo) were employees of UJA Federation of Greater Toronto, Jewish Family & Child Service, the Bathurst Jewish Community Centre, Toronto Jewish Free Loan Cassa, JIAS Toronto, the Miles Nadal Jewish Community Centre and Jewish Vocational Service.

“Year in and year out, the United Way campaign raises money critical to the health and welfare of a vibrant Greater Toronto community,” said UJA Federation president & CEO, Ted Sokolsky. “UJA Federation is proud to support the incredible work of The United Way and we are especially appreciative of the tremendous backing United Way provides to UJA Federation-affiliated agencies serving the Jewish community. Their way is truly the United Way.”
