Campaign Highlights
To kick off their United Way campaign efforts, Western Virginia Water Authority held its annual golf tournament at the Botetourt Country Club. All proceeds of the event each year are donated to United Way of Roanoke Valley. Golfers of all levels came out this past Saturday and gave it their best effort on the green. We wish WVWA much success as they continue their United Way campaign.
 
The 2012 campaign year wasn't just another year for The Roanoke Times. With Debbie Meade, President and Publisher, taking the role of 2011 Campaign Chair for the Roanoke Valley the pressure was on to set the standard for campaigns throughout the Roanoke Valley. This week, Debbie Meade and her campaign team proudly announced they exceeded their internal goal, increased their campaign over 21% from the previous year's campaign and hit a record total for the campaign. The dream team at The Roanoke Times consisted of co-chairs, Karen Belcher and Keith Liles, and Campaign Ambassadors, Yvette Andrews, Tracy Brown, Amanda Codispoti, Tina McEnheimer, and Joseph Park.

Your Hometown station WDBJ-7, wrapped up its 2011 Pacesetter campaign. As a result of ECMs Joe Dashiell, John Thomas and Stephanie Sterrett's hard work, they were able to exceed last year's campaign total and double their number of leadership givers. To celebrate their success, WDBJ-7 staff enjoyed a celebratory lunch and ECM John Thomas drew raffle winners for prizes such as movie passes and PTO days. WDBJ-7, headed by 2010's Campaign Chair Jeff Marks, also hosted United Way of Roanoke Valley's 2nd ECM Training of the campaign season this week and provided a delicious lunch to all of the attending ECMs.
