Drawings for all six donor incentives were held at United Way’s Thank You/Awards reception held in December. A donor who met the eligibility requirements for the drawing at a particular pledge amount could also enter the drawings for the lower pledge amounts. A separate entry card was completed for each type of prize. A specific amount of approved community service could be substituted for the financial donation to United Way to enter the drawing for each of the prizes. Please contact United Way at (607) 729-2592 for specific details. The entry cards were available from the United Way representative at each organization conducting an in-house United Way campaign, or by contacting United Way. No donor funds were used for any of these prizes.

Thanks to all the generous donors who supported the United Way Campaign and the people in our community!
