Live United - United Way

October 2012
 
Are You Ready?
 
Are you ready to make change happen? The United Way 2012 Campaign is underway and we are eager for your participation! Each of us brings unique passion, expertise and resources needed to get the job done.  But while we are different by nature, we are united by mission.  When you share this mission in your workplace, you'll be helping us to reach our goal of 1.2 million dollars to support 34 local United Way agencies.  Open up your campaign toolkit for pledge forms, brochures, tips to inspire and motivate your colleagues, and much more!
