The United Way of White County has topped its 2022 campaign goal of $80,000, with the distribution of funding to more than a dozen local not-for-profit organizations scheduled for February 23.
“All of those who contributed to fundraising efforts cannot be thanked enough,” said Stacy Gray, president of the United Way of White County. “Your generosity enables continuing of decades-long tradition of support of vital human services for our community.”
Since its establishment in 1983, the United Way of White County has furnished more than $3 million to not-for-profit entities enriching the lives of the people of White County.
Following a careful review of grant requests by a committee of community leaders, allocations are made in efforts to best address the most pressing needs.
The allocations reception, open to the public, is set for Thursday, February 23, at 2 p.m., at the Roy Ash Jr. Community Building, 89 East Jarrard Street in Cleveland.
The 21st annual edition of the United Way’s leading fundraising endeavor, the Darrel Chaney Invitational celebrity golf tournament, is scheduled for April 10 and 11 in Helen. This year’s plans also include a fall bucket drive and a reimagined holiday Festival of Trees at Unicoi State Park and Lodge.
