Thank you everyone who attended the Campaign Closing Mixer on April 14.  It was a successful event that marked the 2009 UWFC Campaign, and reaching 95% of our campaign goal. 


MESSAGE FROM THE CAMPAIGN CHAIR

As Campaign Chair, Eric Foreman of M & T Bank states: "I wanted to take a moment to thank all those who gave of their time and financial resources to make this year's United Way Campaign a success.  The United Way was successful in raising $693,388 during this year's campaign.  Because of all those involved, the United Way's 27 member agencies are able to continue their missions to help those in need in the Franklin County community. 
The theme of this year's campaign was LIVE UNITED, which can mean different things to many people, however, the comon thread is to help create better opportunities for those less fortunate than us  Through the help of this year's campaign cabinet, volunteers and staff, our efforts helped to do just that.  Tireless hours were spent not only raising money for 27 wonderful member agencies but making people aware of the rsources those agencies offer to help those in need.

It was truly an honor to be part of this year's campaign and I'm proud of the work everyone involved has done.
