Giving
To fulfill our commitment to Corporate Social Responsibility, every member of the Unity team has chosen an organization that aligns with their personal values and purpose. Unity has made a donation on behalf of each team member to their chosen organization.
Why David chose: The Canadian Mental Health Association
“I have closely and dramatically experienced the impacts of mental health illnesses and addictions within my life. We don’t have to look far to find people struggling, and sadly these struggles are common with all of us and yet not discussed or supported nearly enough. Mental health and concurrent addictions support is urgently needed for many and yet notoriously underfunded, and the CMHA-HKPR is a vital resource within our community for providing that support.”
