Support is coming in from businesses all over the area who have been fundraising for United Way. One longtime supporter, Trex kicked off their workplace campaign last week, sharing the United Way story and the impact of giving locally with their employees. Trex is celebrating their workplace campaign by giving away prizes, organizing blue jean Fridays and offering the chance to win paid days off in a lottery to employees who make gifts!
Other businesses like First Bank, have been fundraising through special events in addition to their workplace campaigns. Team leaders at First Bank have been offering a giving incentive where employees can make a gift to United Way to get a boss's yard covered in pink flamingos, truly making fundraising FUN!
Many area employers offer the option to make a gift to United Way through payroll deduction, making it easier to give more over a continued amount of time. Navy Federal Credit Union recently wrapped up their campaign after raising $30,597, a staggering increase of more than $7,000 from last year, due in part to the many gifts made by payroll deduction!
