Paying it forward with kindness

Thank you for your generosity, Saskatoon, you paid it forward and purchased 115 Act of Kindness tickets! Saskatoon City Employees Credit Union and the City brought back the Act of Kindness Ticket board, allowing attendees and non-attendees to purchase extra breakfast tickets that allowed more people in our community to enjoy a warm breakfast and a welcoming atmosphere. Whether used or unused, every dollar from these tickets goes directly to United Way Saskatoon & Area.

Last year, the City’s 48^th Annual Civic Pancake Breakfast tally ended with a record-breaking final donation (revenue less expenses) to the United Way Saskatoon & Area of $13,471.50.

The City of Saskatoon extends a grateful thank you to our valued breakfast sponsors listed below - we could not hold this important fundraising event without their generous support. Thank you to all for making our important community fundraiser another great success!
