EMPLOYEES UNITE TO RAISE FUNDS

REGINA - It's amazing what can happen when employees get together to raise funds for a good cause.

That's the consensus among the staff at the Co-operators in Regina, who, through teamwork and corporate fund-matching, were able to raise more than $187,000 for the local United Way.

With 750 members working together, the company was able to raise that amount in just over two weeks.
