The
Frost
North
MOF
campaign
is
an
annual
fundraiser
that
collects
charitable
donations
for
various
non-profit
organizations
under
the
United
Way
umbrella.
These
donations
help
support
people
throughout
Toronto
including
the
elderly,
homeless,
new
immigrants,
single
parents
and
the
physically
challenged.
The
“Over
and
Above”
award
recognizes
select
individuals
who
exceed
expectations
as
volunteers
and
leaders
for
the
campaign.
“I
saw
the
opportunity
[to
get
involved
with
the
campaign]
as
a
chance
to
give
back,
become
more
engaged
at
the
workplace
and
to
do
so
for
a
good
cause,”
says
Gunn-Isaacs.
“It’s
a
method
of
fostering
new
relationships
and
a
chance
to
meet
and
engage
in
conversation
outside
of
work
with
like-minded
colleagues.”
Congratulations
and
thank
you
for
demonstrating
charitable
leadership
and
commitment
to
public
service
Chris!
