This year’s program will be MC’d by Corus Entertainment, with Kingston’s town crier and agency speakers on the agenda, and will wrap up with 2019 United Way Campaign chair, Scott Harris announcing this year’s community goal. Workplaces will get a chance to share their goals, events and announce funds raised to date.
