United Way of Cumberland County is showing their appreciation for their workplace campaign partners by giving recognition to three local businesses for their contributions this past year.
United way visited each of the campaign winners and shared about their contributions on Facebook.
Cumberland County Schools was the recipient of the 2023 Paul T. Hodul Campaign of the Year award.
“Their unwavering commitment to the community shines through as we join forces to enhance the lives of our youth and their families,” shared the organization in a Facebook post. “Together, we're making a positive difference!”
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!"
The recognition of these partners comes at the same time as United Way of Cumberland County is preparing to launch their 2023 United Way Campaign Manager's Tour.
“This year, we have prepared an extraordinary opportunity for you to gain exclusive insights into the United Way Community Impact Partners. On July 19, prepare yourself for a day filled with excitement and discovery as we embark on a tour to visit a few select Community Impact Partners. Our aim is to provide you with an exclusive behind-the-scenes experience and a deeper understanding of their remarkable work.,” said the organization in an email to partners.
