Campaign

At United Way, one thing was evident in 2023 as we continued to help our community thrive: You were the driving force behind our work. You changed lives every single day with your generosity.

Kevin Wright took on the challenge in 2023 to be the United Way Campaign Chair. Although it’s no easy task serving as the Campaign Chair, Kevin believes strongly in the value of United Way – uniting people and resources to create lasting change in our community.

As the leaves turn glowing shades of autumn and the temperature reaches perfect outdoor weather for us to enjoy what fall in the south means, I take in all the beauty of Northwest Georgia. Fall, for me, is synonymous with the United Way campaign. The much-anticipated annual United Way campaign has officially launched, igniting a spark of hope and goodwill within the community.

Our credo at United Way is to fight for the education, basic needs, and health of every person in our community. We know that change doesn’t happen alone. I am privileged to be surrounded by the best leaders in Northwest Georgia. I witness some of the busiest people I know make time and invest their resources to address our community’s most critical problems.

Every year, thousands of employees are involved in United Way workplace-giving campaigns that improve the education, basic needs, and health of individuals and families within our community.

Piet and Julian Dossche took on the challenge in 2022 to be the United Way Campaign Co-Chairs. Although it’s no easy task serving as Campaign Co-Chairs, both Piet and Julian believe strongly in the value of United Way - uniting people and resources to create lasting change in our community.

At United Way, one thing was clear in 2022 as we continued to help our community build a brighter future: You were the driving force behind our work. You changed lives every single day with your generosity. Through the Power of Community, you moved our community forward.

When we choose to help, contribute, and reach out, we create change in Whitfield and Murray counties. One moment of compassion and generosity makes it possible for anyone in our community to recover from a crisis, rebuild what was lost, and reimagine a new kind of future in 2022.

Christmas is fast approaching, and every year it seems to get here in the blink of an eye. It is the most wonderful time of the year—a time for gathering with loved ones and spending quality time together. We often spend so much time with the day-to-day activities of life that we miss the opportunity to be genuinely grateful for all that we have.
