Many thanks to the following companies and organizations for helping us change our community by helping people in need through their participation in the Corporate Benefactor Program.  This contribution steps beyond the bounds of a corporate gift and employee giving campaign to support United Way events, projects, communications and the Loaned Employee program.  Most importantly, Benefactors allow us to improve more lives in the community.  Thank you for helping United Way to be a recognized leader of challenging important projects while continuing to fund critical human services programs.
