2005 Carter's Grove Race/Challenge

The Carter's Grove Challenge has been cancelled for 2005. Due to the devastation of Hurricane Isabel, the country road is not accessible. We will keep you posted on the 2006 Race and possible new location!

Pacesetter Kick Off - Aprox. 13 local organizations along with United Way and the 22 member agencies, will be conducting early or "Pacesetter" campaigns for United Way of Greater Williamsburg. Pacesetters "set the pace" by conducting energetic, enthusiastic and successful campaigns to support United Way of Greater Williamsburg. UWGW looks to the Pacesetter organizations to raise approximately 30 percent of the campaign total.

Our 2005 Pacesetter Campaigns will began mid-July and the amount raised will be announced at the Campaign Kick-Off event on September 8th.

Last year we had a work force of over 800 volunteers who worked on community-wide
projects for the day. This year we would like to have a work force of apporximatley 1,000 volunteers.
The needs in our community are increasing, care about what matters by making tomorrow brighter.

Stay tuned for more information on signing up to volunteer as a business team or as an individual!

At the end of the day, all volunteers will gather to share their day's experiences and enjoy a dinner provided in-kind by Outback Steak House and dessert by Ben& Jerry's.

WHAT MATTERS

It is not how many individuals we provide for and serve

It is not how many programs or partners we united

What Matters is:

The bottom-line results

The lives we change

The communities we shape

For our families, our communities, our country- that's what matters!

Sign up today to volunteer for a day of caring project during the 2004 Day of Caring!  Call our Volunteer Center at 253-2264 for more information or you can email at volunteer@uwgw.org.
