United Way - Now More Than Ever
Chapin, SC, 9/21/2009 --Central Label Products, a proud supporter of United Way, has just kicked off the 2009-2010 “Now More Than Ever” employee giving campaign. United Way is a national network of nearly 1,300 local organizations that work to advance the common good by focusing on education, income and health, the building blocks for a good life.
Last year the employees of Central Label Products pledged over $12,000 dollars to the United Way campaign, and because United Way is also ITW’s charitable organization of choice, each contribution was matched $1-for-$1 by the ITW Foundation. These dollars go directly back into the communities in which Central Label Products employees work and live.
“We all have a stake in the health of this community – our children, our neighbors, coworkers and businesses”, said Phil Farchione, General Manager of Central Label Products. “The consequences of hunger, homelessness, school dropouts and violence are felt by everyone. There is no better way to help more people in need and get funds out into the community than by giving through United Way.”
In 2009 the monies raised through ITW employee contributions were distributed to 400 local United Way chapters throughout the United States and Canada. Employee pledges from active employees and retirees, plus $1-for-$1 Foundation match grants, totaled approximately $9.5 million.
United Way brings our communities together to change people’s lives. Central Label Products and ITW are very proud to partner with United Way, Now More Than Ever.
