Avondale workers pledge over $122K for United Way campaign
Posted
City of Avondale employees pledged more than $122,000 toward the Valley of the Sun United Way as part of the city’s month-long employee fundraising campaign this year.
Year after year, Avondale employees set a high goal for contributions and have consistently exceeded the goals they establish. Avondale employees pledged $122,000, exceeding the $105,000 goal set for the 2022 campaign. 67% percent of employees participated in helping to achieve this year’s goal.
“Giving back to the communities where we work and live is an inherent part of the Avondale culture. I am proud of being a part of an organization that is so eager to give back to the community they serve, united in the goal of making lives better,” said Avondale City Manager Ron Corbin in a press release.
"Valley of the Sun United Way envisions a community where every child, family and individual is healthy, has a safe place to live, and has every opportunity to succeed in school, in life, and in work," Said Megan Epley with the Valley of the Sun United Way.
In addition to making one-time and payroll deduction contributions, Avondale employees raised funds in creative ways such as participating in a chili cook-off; a fundraising carnival; a raffle for a chance at winning a paid day off, and making a donation in exchange for “casual dress days” throughout the duration of the campaign.
