Dear CCAC Colleagues:

I believe that each of us, no matter our differences, are all connected. To our community. And to one another. We share problems… and we each play a significant role in making our community a better place to live and work.  That’s why we LIVE UNITED and give to United Way. Because we’re all in this together.

Last year, together, CCAC employees made a difference in our community. Your gift to United Way’s Impact Fund and Community Initiatives generated results by supporting the best agencies and programs dedicated to:

• Helping financially struggling adults and families with immediate needs and long-term self-sufficiency,
• Helping teens and young adults succeed in school, at work and in life,
• Reducing risk factors for younger children such as the effects of abuse and neglect,
• Enabling frail seniors and adults with disabilities to maintain independence.

As you consider your personal gift, take a look below to find out all you r gift can do:

CCAC is proud of the leadership role our employees have taken in giving back to our community through the United Way. This year, the campaign will begin tomorrow, November 7, 2012 and will run until April 15, 2013. We’re committed to increasing our support so that we can pull together to help make a difference in what matters for all our friends and neighbors. I know that with your support we can do it. Thank you very much for making a difference and creating lasting change for our neighbors in need.
