Thank you to everyone that was involved in the United Way campaign this year.  In a tough year for the economy, the community rallied together to raise an impressive $953,000.  It takes many individuals to achieve this level of success; thank you to everyone who is involved, whether you are a donor or volunteer. 

The campaign wrapped up last night with a celebration!  ECC of the Year is Ron Young from the City of Kankakee, and Pam Debono was honored as Volunteer of the Year for her work on the Success by Six initiative.  The work of United Way is made possible by many volunteers; thank you to all who strive to fulfill the mission of the United Way. 
 
Greg Carrell, Executive Director of the United Way of Kankakee County, stated "The money raised in the United Way campaign is a gift from the community that helps us provide funding for health and human service programming, which changes annually to meet the needs of the community."

The staff of United Way appreciates everyone involved in the organization and looks forward to kicking off another successful campaign in the fall.
