Pacesetters

As the name implies, Pacesetters “set the pace” for the United Way annual fundraising campaign through early participation that provides momentum to build on over the weeks that follow

Pacesetters are community leaders who understand that their caring hearts build hope for children, families, and those in need in our communities.

PACESETTER COMMITMENT

• Run an early campaign during the months of July and August
• Offer a year-round payroll deduction plan to employees
• Provide an Employee Campaign Coordinator from their company to attend United Way training.
