United Way of Greater Portland achieved its third consecutive year of campaign growth, announcing that it anticipates $8,053,931 in 2017 pledges against a goal of $8.05 million.
“The generosity of our hundreds of corporate partners and over 12,500 donors is inspiring,” said John Chandler, 2017 campaign chair and managing principal of BerryDunn, in a press release.
“It reflects tremendous passion and dedication to building a thriving community,” he added. “We are grateful to everyone who made it possible.”
United Way’s annual campaign kicked off last September with a rally, food drive and canned-goods sculpture contest in Portland’s Monument Square. The event collected enough food for 16,428 meals and set a record for Cumberland County’s largest one-day food drive.
Gorham Savings Bank, Hannaford, L.L.Bean, MaineHealth, Maine Medical Center, MEMIC, Unum and WEX each loaned 10 employees to bolster United Way of Greater Portland’s capacity for nine weeks during the campaign. These loaned executives helped run workplace campaigns and informed others about United Way’s impact.
Anthem, Berry Dunn, MacPage, Preti Flaherty and Verrill Dana also sponsored this program.
Campaign highlights include:
There are 75 household members in the Tocqueville Society, United Way’s highest giving level for contributions of $10,000 or more. This group collectively contributed more than $1.3 million.
