Mohawk has been a United Way partner, supporter, and advocate since they first opened their doors in our community. Today, $1 of every $9 raised by United Way of Northwest Georgia comes from Mohawk, and with a growth of 19% since last year, Mohawk is changing the game for those in Northwest Georgia. Kicking off their campaign with a United Way Advocates Meeting, to selling t-shirts, to sponsoring Make a Difference Day for the past 15 years, Mohawk is a powerful example of what it means to LIVE UNITED. Thank you Mohawk Industries for making United Way your strategic partner of choice for philanthropy and volunteerism. Mohawk's game-changing leaders for their 2014 campaign are Jennifer Palmer, Jamie Welborn and David Toney.

Thanks to workplace campaigns, like IVC US, Inc., United Way is one step closer to reaching its goal of $3.55 million. A U.S. subsidiary of the second largest sheet vinyl manufacturer in Europe, IVC Group is making a difference. Why you might ask? Because they also have a vinyl plant tucked away in the valley of Northwest Georgia. Led by campaign coordinators Brenda Renfroe, Carmen Gifford, and Micah Riggle, IVC had a 2.15% increase over last year's campaign. IVC US, Inc. is striving to advance the common good through giving. We applaud all those who give to United Way.

 

Thank you for your participation in this year's campaign.
