# Team Seneca is stepping up for United Way

On Saturday, Nov. 14, Team Seneca is climbing the **1,776 steps** of the CN Tower and we'd love for you to join us.

Together, we'll raise funds for United Way Greater Toronto, helping people across our communities access essential supports and services. This is an opportunity to come together and demonstrate our commitment to creating meaningful social impact.

Right now, many people in the GTA are facing rising living costs, food insecurity and economic uncertainty. By participating in ClimbUP, you'll help United Way connect 1.8 million people to programs and services that address urgent needs and help build stronger, more resilient communities.

**Register and fundraise**

Join [**Team Seneca**](https://secure2.convio.net/uwgt/site/TR/CommunityEvents/General?pg=team&team_id=12019&fr_id=1550) for ClimbUP on Saturday, Nov. 14 at 7:30 a.m. and help us reach our goal of raising $18,000! Register by September 30 for a chance to win a $100 gift card to use at any Seneca cafeteria.

The registration fee is $25 and participants are asked to raise a minimum of $100 in support of United Way. ****

Every Team Seneca climber will receive one prize entry for every $100 raised. Fundraising prizes include a Nespresso machine, Ninja Air Fryer, sports tickets, headphones and $125 M&M Food Market gift cards.

Let's step up and make a difference together!
