United Way of the Columbia-Willamette raised $19.64 million in its annual community campaign, topping last year’s totals by 2% even as the region faces tough economic challenges.
“It was a tough year for fundraising, yet what our community’s results show is an incredible display of generosity and caring,” says Marc Levy, CEO and President of United Way of the Columbia-Willamette. “So many people stepped up and gave what they could to help our community. We are grateful for the leadership of campaign chair, Al Jubitz and volunteers on the campaign cabinet who represent a wide variety of local business leaders.
