Thank you for your interest in hosting a fundraising event for the United Way.

Here are the steps for creating an event and Seneca resources that are available to you.

Think about what excites you and your colleagues the most that can be done virtually. Consider a costume contest, physical challenge, online sale, virtual game sessions, trivia parties or scavenger hunts.

Please email united.way@senecapolytechnic.ca. We will promote your event on the United Way website and other communication platforms. We can also provide you with marketing materials for your event.

Determine which platform will work best for hosting your virtual event. Will you be hosting a live event on Cisco Webex? Or will you host an auction on another e-commerce website? Remember to book the event time with Advancement, as well as test out your technology and platform as early as possible.

To book a meeting on Webex or Microsoft Teams:

1. open a new meeting in your Outlook Calendar
2. in the appointments tab, select ‘Add Webex Meeting’ or ‘Teams Meeting’; this will generate a link in the body of the appointment
3. invite Caterina Ventrella to the meeting and save the meeting

When choosing a date, find out if other events are taking place by visiting the Seneca Events calendar on Outlook. Also remember to check the Advancement & Alumni intranet space.
