A UPS team pulls together for United Way.

The 4th annual UPS Plane Pull for United Way raised over $34,000 for people in need across the community. Twenty-four teams competed on near record-breaking temperatures at UPS’s tarmac at YVR on June 25. It was a free family-friendly event with a plane pull for kids, carnival games and a show and shine. And Seymour the Sea Otter! “This event really is about pulling together for community,” said Michael McKnight, President & CEO, United Way British Columbia. “UPS is an amazing community partner and we’re grateful for their generosity over the years. UPS across Canada has raised more than $15 million for United Way over the past 30 years.” Although everybody was a winner for participating, here are the 2017 UPS Plane Pull for United Way winning teams.
