Savannah, GA (September 10, 2009) – United Way of the Coastal Empire announced today its goal for the 2009 community campaign at the Kick-Off event held at the Savannah Civic Center. The organization has set an ambitious target of $8,200,000. Funds raised during the annual Campaign help support human service programs that improve the lives of people in Bryan, Chatham, Effingham and Liberty counties. Priority funding goes to successful programs in the issue areas of education, health, economic independence and helping people with basic human needs. Jeff Kole, President of Kole Management Company, spoke to the assembled crowd about United Way’s impact on the Coastal Empire through the multitude of programs and services offered by over 90 non-profit organizations. In this challenging time, Kole encouraged the community to come together and continue their support to the United Way. “Due to the economy, basic human needs in our community have increased substantially. We have seen an increase of 25% in calls of people needing help,” Kole said. “That’s why the success of this campaign is very important.” Jeff Kole is the 2009 United Way Campaign Chair. Recognized at the Kick-Off were volunteers who comprise the Campaign Cabinet, as well as the Loaned Associates who will carry the 2009 campaign message to employee groups across the community. To aid in this year’s effort, Vaden Automotive Group has generously donated a new vehicle to be given away as part of the community campaign. Anyone attending a United Way campaign meeting at their place of employment is eligible to enter. The winner will be announced at the end of the campaign on November 20th of this year. No donation is required. During the luncheon, local businesses within the community reported results from their campaigns that were conducted in early August. These “Pacesetters” got a head start on their campaigns in order to set the pace for the community campaign as a whole. Pacesetters reported a total of $1,005,368 and counting. United Way’s 2009 Campaign will run from September 10th through November 20th. To learn more or to give outside the workplace, please call 912.651.7714 or visit www.uwce.org.
