Giving
To fulfill our commitment to Corporate Social Responsibility, every member of the Unity team has chosen an organization that aligns with their personal values and purpose. Unity has made a donation on behalf of each team member to their chosen organization.
Why Michael chose: Canadian Blood Services
“I have chosen to support the Canadian Blood Services (CBS) because their aid will be needed by over half of all Canadians. This means over 42,500 people in Peterborough, and at least twelve of us at Lett. I started donating after my grandfather passed away, and I am closing in on my 50th donation of whole blood and platelets. In addition to physical donations, CBS uses financial donations to advance research, expand its national supply, and fund mobile donation clinics. With the constant shortages, I think it’s important to rally our communities in which we design by becoming CBS Partners for Life, assisting in group donations, hosting a donation event, raising awareness, or starting a pledge.”
