NDWCC 2020 - Every dollar counts!

Defence Team members are showing their community spirit and generosity in this year’s NDWCC. We are epitomizing this year’s slogan of “Apart but together at heart” by giving generously to our charities of choice and changing the lives of people in our own communities.

When we say that no amount is too small, it is true. Every dollar that is donated has an impact. Before the option to pledge via payroll deduction ends on November 20, I wanted to share just how big of a difference every dollar can make.
