Our Pacesetters Lead The Way!
Each year, a select group of local businesses take on the challenge to "jump start" the annual campaign by becoming a Pacesetter. While we haven't been able to have a Pacesetter Program since 2019 due to COVID, we still recognize these community leaders and hope to get back to a strong program in the future.
Pacesetter organizations lead the way in building a stronger, healthier community by running their United Way fundraising campaigns between mid-July and late September. They set the pace for United Way's Annual Campaign by building momentum for the community-wide effort to raise funds for local non-profit human service agencies and for initiatives that advance education, income, health and people's ability to meet basic needs.
The Pacesetter Commitment
Promote the LIVE UNITED call to action: Give. Advocate. Volunteer.
Conduct a workplace giving campaign from mid- July through late September.
Conduct a “Best Practices” campaign for your company.
Submit the results of your company campaign to the United Way by September 27th, 2019.
