Delivering Christmas – The United Way
Throughout the month of December, Evening Sun Staff members will be visiting various charitable and non-profit agencies in Chenango County to offer a helping hand to “Deliver Christmas.”
Every year the Chenango United Way raises money to fund many non-profit organizations around Chenango County. Last year, the organization raised $488,876 and was able to fund 18 programs.
This year, the CUW has received $695,899 in requests for 22 area programs and they hope to come close to funding every one. With a goal this year of $465,000, the CUW hopes to hit its target amount and maybe even exceed it.
The Evening Sun and the rest of the companies that make up Snyder Communications wanted to help in that endeavor. Recently, I made my way to the CUW office to deliver an envelope full of donations from Snyder Communications employees.
The donations make up only a small part of the funds raised annually by the CUW, but when raising money for a charitable cause, every little bit counts.
This year, Snyder Communications employees donated $3,525 to the United Way. The figure includes donations from 50 percent of Snyder Communications employees. The Evening Sun division saw an 80 percent increase in donations from the previous year.
To date, the CUW has raised more than 90 percent of their goal amount. As of Friday, the organization had brought in $421,757. Company campaigns from several local businesses have added to the total amount raised. “Many of the companies are coming in substantially higher this year,” said CUW Executive Director Elizabeth Monaco.
The CUW campaign will run until Dec. 31. For more information or to make a donation, contact the CUW at 334-8815 or visit the web site at www.chenangouw.org.
