For the first time in three years, United Way of the CSRA held an in-person campaign kickoff event this past Friday. Part of the event included the United Way’s annual Project Serve day.
This year’s goal is to raise $2.4 million to help meet the continued demands of the CSRA. Last year, United Way of the CSRA used the funds to help support 38 programs at 25 different non-profits throughout the CSRA that impacted more than 253,000 people.
“Our community needs United Way, our strong partnerships, and ability to mobilize resources to help solve complex problems in the CSRA,” President and CEO, Brittany Burnett said. “But United Way also needs our community’s support in order to make lasting change on the issues that matter most in our region. We want to ensure that children, young adults, and families have the tools and resources they need to achieve their maximum potential.”
United Way of the CSRA focuses its investments in the community through the Leading Families Forward initiative. Leading Families Forward is a community-wide initiative that was launched three years ago that ensures investments are made to specific focus areas in the community meeting the largest needs.
“Your support, your gift, to United Way will enable us to Lead Families Forward, not only for today, but for next week, next year, and the next generation,” Burnett said.
