If we were all to redirect a mere 5% of the billions of dollars that we already spend each year on gifts, there would be enough to eliminate extreme poverty in about 15 years.

The SEED Event – Thank you!
UEnd was graciously invited to attend and have a presence at The SEED Event, held in Calgary on Sunday February 19th. UEnd Founder and Executive Director, Jay Baydala also had a chance to speak to a captive audience of 1200 people.
So many thank you’s need to be given to SEED Event for donating proceeds of the event to UEnd and for allowing us to set up information tables, have a silent auction and have a handful of UEnd volunteers to roam and chat with attendees.
Also, a massive “thank you” goes out to Original Joe’s pub on 8th Avenue, who donated 10% of every bill if patrons had a SEED Event ticket. Fabulous!
In total, UEnd raised over $1,800 in donations for our designated project – The Eco Stove Solution, and over $2,000 from the silent auction for our organization. Thank you!
Lastly, we’d like to give a HUGE shout out to our amazing volunteers who pour their hearts and souls into helping UEnd raise awareness and raise funds for projects and the organization. Thank you!
