MEGlobal named “Small But Mighty” Winner by United Way Alberta Capital Region

MEGlobal Fort Saskatchewan received the “Small but Mighty” award for its 2021 Employee Charities Campaign during the United Way of the Alberta Capital Region’s Small Business Awards of Distinction ceremony on March 10, 2022.

The campaign raised nearly $61,000 including $27,022 in employee contributions, $27,022 in matching funds from MEGlobal and $6,898 raised in special events for a total of $60.942.

“To be recognized like this just validates the efforts put into the campaign by us as well as the other campaign members and everybody who participated within our company as well,” said MEGlobal campaign committee member Ray Leckie.

Campaign leader Nicole Moverley added that the campaign provided many learning experiences.

“In recent years it has definitely highlighted how close to home the fight against poverty really is and how important that the work that the United Way and their member agencies is for the individuals and families depending on them,” she said.

It is the first year that MEGlobal Fort Saskatchewan has received the award.

“I want to congratulate everyone at MEGlobal Fort Saskatchewan for this great recognition from the United Way of the Alberta Capital Region,” said Rocco Schurink, VP of Manufacturing. “The funds raised are important, but is even more important is that Fort employees showed our communities that they care about them and that they want to make a difference for those who are in need.”

Overall, MEGlobal employees and their corporate offices in North America will give more than $235,000 to the United Ways of Central Alberta, the Alberta Capital Region, Brazoria County, TX and Greater Houston, TX in 2021.

“We are incredibly moved and grateful for the support and generosity of MEGlobal and its employees,” says Rob Yager, President & CEO of United Way of the Alberta Capital Region. “With the help of caring donors like these, we can continue to be there for the most vulnerable as we recover and rebuild, support the well-being and success of our entire community. United, we make the biggest impact and ensure no one is left behind.”
