The Cabinet is a hands-on team that makes decisions around campaign strategies, communications with donors, making workplace visits and even organization according to a press release.

“We fund 20 different community agencies. Some of them are small and can't afford to do fundraising on their own,” said Hendry. “Some of them big but we give them a fair bit of money. The organizations we fund affect everyone in the community in some way, homelessness, food insecurity and literacy.”

The 2023 campaign kicks off at the Healthy Planet Arena on Sept. 6.
