High Point’s United Way receives generous support
Recently I had the honor and privilege of saying “thank you” to the incredibly generous community of greater High Point, as we celebrated the results of our 2008 United Way campaign: $4.526 million.
In exceeding last year’s total, even by a small amount, we have proudly accomplished the only campaign increase among major United Way organizations in North Carolina to date.
How fortunate we are that during a year of enormous economic instability, so many of the good people of High Point, Archdale, Trinity and Jamestown chose to support our 29 partner agencies that provide critical help to those in need, and enrich our way of life. Through your gifts and volunteer service to United Way, you bless the lives of your neighbors, and give them hope.
Every gift to our campaign, large or small, is important, and we are grateful for each and every one of them.
Thank you, greater High Point, for touching and affecting the lives of others in such positive ways.
I am inspired and humbled by the depths of your support and compassion for our community, especially during these difficult times, and I have never been prouder to call myself a High Pointer.
