Thank You!

ECMs Help United Way Reach $11,771,018 

We're sending you our special thanks for your extra hard work. If it weren't for you, we could have never reached our mid-range 2008 campaign goal. Read more to see how the money you raised is advancing the common good.
 





2009 Campaign Plans

The new Campaign Cabinet and our campaign plans are already in place for this Fall, thanks to our new campaign chair, Bill Wilder. Bill has engaged new volunteers and brought in lots of new faces. Bill believes our ECMs are a critical link for the 2009 campaign process and he is looking forward to working with you and your companies. If there is anything you need the campaign staffs' help with, please call us at 423.752.0370.  
 




ECM Training Dates

Training is several months away, but watch your inbox for updates on dates and locations. You can also see a tentative campaign calendar online. Call 423-752-0370 if you have any questions.
 




We Need Your Pictures

Many of you conduct your corporate campaigns throughout the year, not just in the fall. We want to recognize the good work you're doing for United Way. 
 
If you are holding a golf tournament, bike ride, or other fundraising event for United Way, please send us pictures of the event with a description and names of the pictured participants. We may post these pics on our Flickr account, our web site or submit them to our local papers.  

If you are hosting an event for United Way or need help promoting your event, then please -
 Let us know!
