From the Desk of our 2007 Campaign Chair
Kevin Keane
Dear United Way Supporters,
As the outgoing Chair of our 2007 United Way Campaign Cabinet, I thank you for the opportunity to serve our community. It was a humbling experience to see the outpouring of community support, in spite of the challenging economic times we are all facing.
Today, we have more choices than ever for our philanthropic investments. That is why your investment in our United Way, that seeks to solve the underlying causes of critical issues, is so important.
I am proud to report that our 2007 fund-raising campaign projects to raise $4,291,789 in gifts and pledges, which represents 104.3% of our ambitious goal.
The people of Genesee County have always been generous and caring and have once again shown their generosity. On behalf of the at-risk children, older adults and families, who benefit from United Way, thank you from the bottom of my heart.
I would also like to thank the hundreds of volunteers including, organized labor, the business community, non-profit organizations, foundations, government, and ordinary caring people. You spend countless hours helping to raise the funds needed to support the many programs that make our community a better place to live, work and play.
To me, United Way demonstrates just how caring our community is. Together, whether as committed volunteers, supportive partners or generous donors, we shape our community and deliver hope to those who need it most, and that is what matters.
Thank you!
Kevin J. Keane
2007 Campaign Chair
