ArcelorMittal Dofasco, Employees Support United Way

ArcelorMittal Dofasco recently announced a $1 million donation to the United Way of Burlington & Greater Hamilton.

The donation includes a $700,000 contribution to the 2009 United Way of Burlington and Greater Hamilton campaign made up of employee contributions distributed through the Employee Donations Fund, and a significant contribution from the ArcelorMittal Dofasco Community Investment Fund. There is also a formal commitment of an additional $300,000 as part of a larger total donation to the 2010 United Way Campaign.
 
 “ArcelorMittal Dofasco and ArcelorMittal Dofasco employees have a long history of generously supporting community organizations such as the United Way,” noted Graham Browne, Vice President Human Resources and General Administration. “We do this because we know that our actions have broader implications in the community and that contributions like these help to build strength in the community and make it a better place to live.”

The United Way donation is part of the company’s Community Strength campaign which supports the important contribution of the company’s community partners, represented in seven sectors, including United Way, Healthcare, Education, Arts, Sports, the Environment and Social Services.

“For United Way of Burlington & Greater Hamilton, the combined employee and corporate gifts of ArcelorMittal Dofasco have always led the way in the annual Campaign,” commented Tom Bontje, Chair, United Way Board of Directors. “ArcelorMittal Dofasco and its employees have a rich and wonderful legacy of community commitment.

Thank you ArcelorMittal Dofasco, we are fortunate to have your tremendous leadership and support.”
