Centraide Estrie raised $1,677,018 through its 43rd annual campaign this year, surpassing its stated goal by more than $22,000.
“The people of the Eastern Townships have acted from the heart and I want to salute their generosity,” said Yves Jodoin, Chair of the Board of Centraide Estrie, calling the results encouraging. Ismaël Sondarjee, who assumed fundraising campaign presidency this year from longtime president Eric Ashby, used the opportunity to reflect on how much of an impact small steps can make to a fundraising campaign.
