LIVE UNITED Campaign All around our community people- agencies, companies, small business and large industries - are working to help make the campaign a great success! 2009-10 Campaign Chair Kathryn Johnson has set the goal at a challenging $275,000.

Organizations can help make this year's campaign a success by doing three things.

1. Pledge your support with a corporate contribution.
2. Arrange an employee campaign that will provide your employees, regardless how many or how few, the opportunity to give. We know that people, in all walks of life, want to make a difference right here, where they live or work. Let us show them how!
3. Arrange a leadership campaign among management or senior staff.
   

Pacesetter's
Early each year leaders in our community step up to set the pace for the rest of the campaign. They do this by agreeing to run their campaign in Septemeber, rather than October in order to help edge the progress towards 50% of the campaign goal before we even officially launch the campaign. Pacesetter companies are recognised as community leaders in the newspaper, radio and are honored at the Chili CookOff

Bringing people together to advance the common good. United Way was built on the belief that together, we can accomplish more than any individual or organization can alone. We're bringing together the hearts, hands and minds (and on Oct 9th the chili!) of our community to make it the best place possible for children and families. It's a big goal. A brighter vision of the future shared by individuals of all backgrounds and experiences. Lend yours to the movement. United, there's nothing we can't do.
