Payworks’ CEO Barb Gamey is the United Way Winnipeg Campaign Chair for 2018. Barb will lead the upcoming campaign, help set its fundraising targets along with the campaign’s cabinet, as well as rally more donors and volunteers. As the 2018 campaign quickly approaches, she’s eager to roll up her sleeves alongside the cabinet.

“One of my most important tasks as Campaign Chair will be to help inspire people to participate and donate, and to encourage more businesses to run their own workplace campaigns,” said Barb.

To support this initiative, Payworks has made a commitment to match all new Leader level donors for United Way Winnipeg up to $1,200. Increases to prior Leadership level gifts will be matched up to $300.

Barb, who has been involved with the United Way for more than 30 years, passionately supports its mission to build a better Winnipeg, saying, “We’re strengthening the fabric of our city together.”
