What is the value of a donation? It's a fun question to ponder. 

  • $10 may put new books into the hands of young children, but you can't measure the value of inspiring and unlocking their young minds.
  • $15 may educate local residents about 2-1-1 and the local services and organizations in our community, but you can't measure the value of connecting people in need with health & human services they desperately require.
  • $25 may provide weekly home care visits for a senior, but you can't measure the value of bringing comfort and joy to a lonely individual.

 

Pikes Peak United Way's donors, advocates and volunteers make a difference is so many ways through the thousands of lives touched in this community. 

 

We cannot express enough gratitude for your invaluable contributions - whether  your time, talent or resources.  It is through these donations we are able to advance the common good of our community. 

As we express our gratitude, we must never forget that the highest appreciation is not to utter words, but to live by them.

MADMThank You for Helping Make
MADM 2011 a Success
!
Thank you to the 15 agencies who provided Make a Difference Month volunteer opportunities this year and for the individuals who selflessly dedicated themselves to increase the quality of life for their neighbors.

1,800 volunteers gave 9,000 hours of service to our community!

A special thank you to our sponsors: Pepsi, Anonymous, Webster University, Agilent Technologies, and Tayco. Without your support, Make A Difference Month would not have the level of impact that it has each year.

Cornerstone Partners
 Cornerstone Partners

 

Founded in 2001, the Cornerstone Program underwrites all of the administrative and fundraising costs of Pikes Peak United Way so that donor dollars are used solely for the purpose of helping the community.

Because of our Cornerstone Partners, it is with great pride Pikes Peak United Way is able to say: 100% of the donations we receive go directly to programs and services to help those in need in our community.

For their continued support, our sincere thanks go out to all of our Cornerstone Members.
