Greetings!
 
It's time for a big get-together, so we hope you can join us, along with Christina and Ron Ryan, for a fun night at ICON! Check out the details below.

United Way has several volunteer opportunities available to you where you can make a direct impact on people's lives. We have expanded our work on Education, Income and Health in the community. As we've added these new services, we need more volunteers than ever before. Let us know if you can help!

Sincerely,

matching funds!


Your gift can generate even more support for our community!
Matching funds are available this year thanks to the Indiana Association of United Ways and the Lilly Endowment.
 
The funds will be used to encourage growth in giving for Young Leaders United members to help get you to the $500+ leadership level. All new dollars that get you to that level will be matched.

Example: Donor A previously gave $0 and contributes $250 in 2008. This generates a $250 match and the matching dollars will count toward Donor A being recognized as a YLU leadership donor.
 
Example: Donor B previously gave $275 and contributes an additional $112.50 in 2008.  This generates a $112.50 match and the matching dollars will count toward Donor B being recognized as a YLU leadership donor.
