What an amazing event for an important cause! A spirited team from Comtek flexed their muscles this past weekend to raise funds and awareness at the 2024 UPS Plane Pull & United Way Halton & Hamilton Campaign Kick-Off. Team Comtek was one of many energetic teams in friendly competition to be the fastest to pull a 200,000 pound Airbus 50 feet across the tarmac at Hamilton Airport.
The plane pull serves as the official kickoff event for the United Way Halton & Hamilton’s annual fundraising campaign. The event brought together 60+ teams, 700+ participants, and a huge number of supporters to raise funds that directly support our community’s most vulnerable to address issues of food insecurity, housing, mental health and youth mentorship. The event raised over $217,000 (and counting) towards United Way Halton & Hamilton's annual goal of $12.5 million.
A huge thank you goes out to the members of Team Comtek and to all Comtek employees, friends and family members who donated to help support those in need in our community!
