A Message from the 2012 Campaign Chairman
I have supported the United Way for over 30 years. I joined the United Way Board of Directors in 2008 because United Way supports such a wide range of human services. The services vary from basic needs like meals and shelter; wellbeing services like health and childcare; as well as growth and mentoring services through programs like Boy Scouts and the Child Development Center. There are 28 agencies supported by the United Way.
I am proud to be the campaign chair this year. The theme for this year’s campaign is “United for United Way.” It is a message that has meaning in a lot of ways. United Way partner agencies work together to support the needs of our community. Our supporters provide the funding necessary to operate these meaningful programs. Several companies match your donation and provide payroll deduction as a way to give that is easy and effective. In the workplace and in the community, it makes sense to work together towards a better quality of life, and provide a hand up rather than a hand out.
I invite you to join me in giving to United Way of Natrona County, and I offer a special challenge … Invite a colleague to also give to the campaign. The need for services is greater than ever, and your continued support is the key to our success. When we are “United for United Way” we really can make a difference.
