The Partner Agency of the Year award went to Greater Life of Fayetteville. The organization praised them for their contributions online stating:
“Their unwavering commitment to the youth of Cumberland County and their continuous collaborative efforts have made them the perfect choice for this recognition. We extend our heartfelt thanks for all that you do!”

The award for Campaign Manager of the Year went to Leeanne Carlucci with the Hutchens Law firm. According to the company’s Facebook post, this was Calucci’s first year as a United Way campaign manager.
“Leeanne's exceptional dedication and creativity shined through as she went above and beyond to showcase our Community Impact Partners. From organizing an agency fair on-site to implementing exciting incentives for staff, she proved that going the extra mile is the key to a thriving campaign. Well done, Leeanne!"
