A message from our campaign chair

“I want to continue to be a catalyst for the work that United Way is doing in building strong neighborhoods through place-based investment. Through this year’s campaign, we’re aiming to raise awareness and help donors understand their impact through supporting United Way initiatives. We’re going to drive more direct investment by using the campaign as a platform to energize our donors.”
