KPMG, Odlum Brown and Dentons Canada!
Earlier this month, these three community champions got together to show their local love at the 3rd Annual Family Feud Fundraiser. Boasting a record attendance of 200 people, this fun event pitted each company against each other in a bid to show off their trivia prowess, have fun, and raise funds for United Way.

All dollars raised over the course of the evening go to support local, life-changing programs that tackle unignorable issues in our community, issues like child vulnerability and seniors isolation.
Teams from each organization vied to earn top bragging rights as the competition’s reigning champion. Contestants answered skill-testing questions on a variety of topics, ranging from, “behaviours a dog can get away with, but a human can’t” to “what not to do when you get pulled over by a cop”.
This was Dentons Canada first time taking part in the annual event and their team put up a great showing over the course of the night. In the end, KPMG walked away as this year’s winner, taking the title away from last year’s champion Odlum Brown.
