Companies across the Triangle are rolling out their fall United Way campaigns. The 2011 effort began Monday at Capitol Broadcasting Co. We are not a huge employer, but our staff has a big heart. CBC was ranked #12 on the United Way’s Impact 100 last year.
United Way is part of our corporate DNA.
I’ve been involved with United Way campaigns for over a decade. We began with the slogan GIVE UNITED and that has morphed into LIVE UNITED…which combines giving, volunteerism and advocacy. Working with other companies in Durham and the RTP, I have recently seen a great example of that at Syngenta.
The biotech firm surpassed its goal ringing the bell at 103%. That’s the GIVE UNITED part - but hold on - there’s more:
According to Syngenta’s campaign leader Katie Seguin, their staff donated 753 pounds of food to the Inter-Faith Food Shuttle, and 60 of employees volunteered at eight United Way agencies for Syngenta in Action.
That, Ladies and Gentlemen, is an impressive commitment to LIVE UNITED!
