2025 Community
Campaign Cabinet

United Way Hastings & Prince Edward is fortunate to have the volunteer leadership of some of the best and brightest philanthropists and community champions in Hastings & Prince Edward.  We are grateful for their support in ensuring those who are most vulnerable are getting the key health and social supports required for success.  We continue to honor the volunteers who care deeply as the United Way movement involves decades of volunteer driven results through a strong commitment to community and caring.

 

 

Cabinet Co-Chairs – Victor and Jodi Cooper

Victor, founder of Eighty Twenty Studio, is an award-winning filmmaker known for capturing the stories that bring our community to life. His creative work has helped shine a spotlight on local issues and inspire change. He is also a well-loved local musician, connecting people through music and storytelling.

Jodi, an art therapist and Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying), previously served as United Way HPE’s Director of Community Impact. In that role, she worked closely with local agencies and donors to ensure funding was directed to where it was most needed. Her insight into both the challenges and strengths of the community uniquely positions her to co-lead this campaign. Married since 2004, Victor and Jodi combine creative vision, deep relationships, and a passion for advocacy, making them an inspiring team to lead the 2025 campaign.
