March of 1000 Umbrellas

August 13, 2024/in Did you know?/by Tracy Cochrane

We are six weeks away from Our United Way WRC Campaign Launch, March of 1,000 Umbrellas.

We invite you to join us on Thursday, September 19th, as we form a parade of umbrellas stretching from Waterloo City Hall to Kitchener City Hall. The event shines a spotlight on the essential work being done by our extensive local network of non-profits and charities, that are all funded through the generosity of donors like you.

Your $20 registration includes lunch, entertainment, and a GRT pass from Carl Zehr Square. Register before August 31st to receive a free United Way t-shirt, handed out at the event!


This march is an opportunity to come together in solidarity and speak out on behalf of those in need in our region. Together we can end poverty, but only if we are United!

The full event will take less than two hours, but its impact on our community and non-profit organizations will endure.
