2023 UCalgary Sparks of Gratitude
UCalgary’s Sparks of Gratitude campaign is a fun new way to show appreciation for your colleagues and give to United Way at the same time! This campaign supports a positive, engaged culture, and helps make UCalgary a great place to work and learn. Donate $10 and receive 5 “sparks” to share with your colleagues. Write messages of thanks, encouragement or just let someone know how they make UCalgary a better place for all. Collect your “sparks” from your area’s United Way cabinet representative.
