Focused on the Ultimate Goal

We can achieve great things by setting
big goals.
We just announced the completion of a successful 2014 fundraising
campaign. Through the generosity of over 17,000 United Way donors,
this community continues to show it cares about helping others.
During the excitement of celebrating this success, I need to remind
myself why we do all this hard work. Raising the money is
critically important, but what really matters is how we invest the
money that you, the community, have entrusted in us.
Thanks to you, the homeless and abused will have safe places to go
for shelter, children will have safe, healthy alternatives after
school, and our elderly, home-bound neighbors will enjoy nutritious
meals every weekday. In all, you are helping to fund programs,
collaborative initiatives, and innovative grants that will touch
more than 100,000 Fox Cities residents this year. Together we are
building a stronger, healthier community for everyone. That's the
ultimate goal we need to celebrate.
