The theme of the 2016 United Way campaign shows that each of us can play an important role in improving the quality of life and the health and well-being of our community.
Some great reasons to contribute to the United Way:
- When you give to United Way, your gift stays right here in the Jefferson and North Walworth counties and is invested in areas identified by our community as being of the highest priority. A record-breaking total of $344,414 represented a growth of $20,739 over two years! The growth is that it directly resulted in increased impactful support for the LOCAL nonprofit partners, LOCAL pillar grant projects and LOCAL community programs.
- In 2015, Fort HealthCare raised $31,651, exceeding our goal by more than $4,300. Your passion and leadership were an integral part of the campaign’s success.
- United Way is focused on results to ensure that your gift will make the greatest difference possible.
Our campaign at Fort HealthCare will begin on Wednesday, October 26th and will run through Friday, November 4th. During that time, we hope that you will contemplate a gift to the United Way. Please consider a personal contribution, participation in our online silent auction bidding process, and/or enjoying one of the luncheon events that groups may sponsor.
Group ambassadors will be passing out pledge cards and assist with reminders of these events. Keep checking the Intranet News for the latest updates, and look for flyers and announcements promoting events and activities as well.
IMPACT by the Numbers:
- $240,042: the total amount allocated to 26 LOCAL nonprofit agencies, 16 non-partner donor-designated agencies, 9 LOCAL pillar grant projects, and 3 LOCAL United Way community programs.
- 28,252: the total number of reported clients served by our partner agencies, pillar grant projects, and community programs during 2015.
- $8.50: the donation value that directly impacts ONE individual in need.
Thank you for considering a contribution to the 2016 campaign!
