Welcome!
September 5, 2011
Dear Workplace Campaign Manager,
Thank you for volunteering to lead this year’s United Way Campaign effort in your workplace. Your role as a Workplace Campaign Coordinator is crucial to the success of our United Way’s Campaign in Jefferson & North Walworth Counties. Each of you was handpicked for this role because your company has full confidence in your leadership ability.
As a result of past efforts by Workplace Campaign Coordinators, United Way has been able to address these community priorities:
• Improve Community Health
o Supporting healthcare access for uninsured and underinsured individuals
o Supporting mental health services for those in need
o Supporting those in recovery for a better tomorrow
• Address the Needs of At Risk Youth
o Expanding after-school options for children
o Providing youth mentoring opportunities
• Strengthen Families
o Preparing children for school
o Providing relief to those in abusive situations
• Build & Maintain Family Financial Stability
o Providing a safety net in case of disaster
o Putting people back to work
• Integrate Diverse Populations
o Providing resources & opportunities for English Language Learners
o Providing Information & Referral to those in need
In 2010 our United Way’s partner agencies touched the lives of nearly 10,000 people. Any man, woman or child – regardless of age, skin color or ability to pay was afforded the opportunity to improve their life by working with a United Way partner agency, and workplace campaigns made this happen. Thank you!
You are about to begin a challenging, yet fun and rewarding experience. Please take advantage of all the information and resources available to you and you will have a successful workplace campaign.
Thank you for investing in what matters; community, working together and results.
Sincerely,
Kristin Wallace
Executive Director
