As we close our 2015-16 GENERATIONS UNITED TO GIVE CAMPAIGN, we want to thank our Capitol Club members and all of our donors for giving in a "United Way" and being "United" in their commitment to improve our community.
Each and every day, people in our community encounter situations that are far too difficult to overcome on their own. Last year more than 60,000 local people benefited from United Way support. We all benefit when a child has a successful school year, when families are financially stable and secure, and when people are in good health. Contributing through United Way is more than a charitable gift - it is an investment in the future of our community.
Capitol Club members represent the foundation of leadership and community support. From all walks of life, these generous individuals make up approximately 50 percent of the total campaign dollars generated for our community. They have elevated the standard for generosity and recognize that support of a community means a stronger community.
Their generous gifts, combined with others, have allowed our neighbors to thrive - not just exist - and, in turn, be able to give back to their community.
To all the leadership givers who make up the Capitol Club, we say thank you on behalf of a grateful community.
The campaign total stands at $1,805,366.48. The Capitol Club leadership donors listed individually below account for $976,239.14 of the total raised to date.
