Dear Friend of the Urban League,
With just one week left in their annual fundraising campaign, United Way for the Greater New Orleans Area (UWGNOA) needs your help to meet their goal. They need you to join the March to the Finish! No matter how big or how small, every dollar counts. And every dollar raised here, stays here.
For every $50 you donate to United Way throughout the month of March, you get one chance to receive a signed
Drew Brees Blue Dog print by George Rodrigue! UWGNOA supports over 130 programs within 91 artner Agencies in Jefferson, Orleans, Plaquemines, St. Bernard, St. Tammany, Tangipahoa and Washington Parishes. With support from people like you and me, in 2009, United Way and its partner agencies:
-Recruited and placed 50,000 volunteers.
-Distributed over 13 million pounds of food.
-Provided over 2.5 million hours of childcare.
-Handled over 77,000 service request calls through 2-1-1.
As a participating agency of the United Way, join me in helping United Way March to the Finish! Please give today at www.unitedwaynola.org or call (504) 827-6814. The goal is attainable, but it will take everyone working together to close the gap. Thanks for your support!
Yours in the Movement!
