At the Campaign Progress Report on November 18, 2004, it was announced that United Way of Greater Williamsburg have raised $1,114,438 to date. The campaign will remain open through the end of the year. We hope to surpass the $1.5 million raised last year.
At the report, we recognized the people who improve your community every day by caring about what matters and to celebrate those whose lives have been improved through United Way of Greater Williamsburg.
We got to meet Erin Cavanagh, the young lady featured in our 2004 brochure, and her family. Mr. Cavanagh pointed out that for many many years, during the fall, how the bright, chearful people from United Way would solicit his place of business for employee pledges - he always gave because he wanted to make a difference in "those people's lives" - "now I've become one of "those people" that needed the help from a United Way member agency" he said. This family is truly a family whose lives are brighter because of YOUR caring!
