The United Way of Saskatoon and area will receive a grand total of $244,337, thanks to the generosity of PotashCorp's Saskatoon-area employees and the company's matching gift program.

The employee giving campaign has been a yearly event where PotashCorp employees raise funds for the United Way. In 2007, the campaign grew in both size and scope, as the number of leadership contributions - gifts of more than $1,000 - jumped from 13 last year to 24 this year.

In total, PotashCorp employees at Saskatoon, Cory, Allan and Patience Lake combined to contribute a company-record $122,033, representing a 30-percent increase from 2006. With the company's matching-gift program and additional non-matching donations factored in, the total donation was $244,337.

"This was a major milestone for us as it was the first time employee giving surpassed $100,000," said Brian Waters, Campaign Chair and Manager, Facilities, PotashCorp. "By giving, we support those in need in the communities where we operate."
