Drawings for all six donor incentives were held at United Way’s Thank
You/Awards reception in December. A donor who met the eligibility
requirements for the drawing at a particular pledge amount could also enter the
drawings for the lower pledge amounts. A separate entry card was completed for each type
of prize. A specific amount of approved community service could be substituted for
the financial donation to United Way to enter the drawing for each of the
prizes. Please contact United Way at (607) 729-2592 for specific details. The entry cards
were available from the United Way representative at
each organization conducting an in-house United Way campaign, or by contacting
United Way. No donor funds were used for any of these prizes.
Thanks to all the generous donors who
support the United Way Campaign and do
"what
matters" for the people in our community!
