“We are so fortunate to have Mr. Canada joining us for our campaign
kickoff breakfast,” said Jane Moore, United Way of
Greater Toledo’s interim president & CEO. “He has had remarkable
results in the 100-block Harlem Children’s Zone and we are
excited to hear more about how we could incorporate some of
those ideas here to support our schools and improve outcomes for
kids and their families.”
After Canada’s address, United Way will share the latest about
their work and also announce the campaign goal for the 2012
