April 1st marked the exciting launch of the 2025 Federated Health campaign! Launch day is always a whirlwind of emotions. Preparing for this annual campaign that rolls out across Ontario involves months of hard work—building, testing, and fine-tuning donation platforms, preparing volunteer training materials, and collaborating with key stakeholders in the Ontario Public Service, the Ontario Provincial Police and provincial government agencies.
In the weeks leading up to the campaign, we have met with and trained hundreds of volunteers, with hundreds more still to come, ensuring we have a fantastic group of ambassadors championing the cause.
For me, April 1st always brings a mix of relief and anticipation. We’ve successfully launched the campaign, and now it’s time to raise funds for our charities. The preparatory stage ends, and the fundraising stage begins, marking the start of three months filled with creativity, collaboration, connection, and fun. We look forward to the innovative ideas your ministry and agency volunteers have for you, the teamwork among colleagues and across your workplaces, and the shared dedication of raising funds towards our goal for 2025!
The final stage, when we hand over the funds to these incredible charities, is my favorite. It’s a joy to see the impact we can make together. Here’s to an incredible three months of connection, collaboration, and fun!
As always, don’t hesitate to contact me anytime. I’d love to hear from you!
