 Today we celebrate the kick off of the 2009 United Way campaign!
We are always excited to launch a new campaign because we know the measurable impact that your combined dollars make. Thanks to you, thousands of lives are changed each year throughout our region.
I'm very pleased to introduce to you our 2009 campaign leaders and have asked them to share their thoughts on living united. We truly appreciate their steadfast leadership and extend a hearty thank you to them for all they do to improve our region.
Thank you too for your continued support. Together, I know we'll meet with great success in the 2009 campaign.

Hanover County Administrator and 2009 Local Government & Schools Campaign Co-Chair
"Living United means helping--helping people in our community. We all have some way to help make our community a better place, from giving blood, to delivering meals, to making a donation, there are many ways we can improve the lives of people who need help."

Stewart D. Roberson, Ed.D.
Hanover Superintendent of Schools and 2009 Local Government & Schools Campaign Co-Chair
 "In the education profession, we can point to a few community-wide efforts which truly connect our important work with the noble and essential work of many other leading public service providers. Among those efforts, United Way is the primary organization that singularly positions itself and, therefore all of us, in a way which enables us to LIVE UNITED successfully.
It is an honor to give my personal and professional energies and resources to United Way-led campaigns because of the clear track record and positive results we achieve for the people we support, serve, and lead."
