United Way Campaign Kick-off on Tuesday

The United Way of Stephens County will kick off its 2015 campaign this week.

On Tuesday, the United Way of Stephens County is hosting its 2015 Kickoff Event at 11 a.m. at Gate Cottage on the campus of Toccoa Falls College.

United Way of Stephens County Campaign Chair Tammy Riddle said those thinking about helping with this year’s United Way campaign in Stephens County should attend this event.

“We encourage area business and individuals interested in participating in the campaign to attend,” said Riddle. “The United Way of Stephens County currently serves 12 agencies, which are a vital part of the successes of our families and children right here in Stephens County. We are excited about our goal this year, which is $100,000.”

Riddle said it is going to take the support of the entire community to reach that goal for this year.

She went on to say that the most important thing to know about the United Way of Stephens County is that practically all of the money raised in Stephens County stays in this community.

“When I say every bit of the money, I mean 99 cents of every dollar raised is being used to meet the needs of those who need it right here in Stephens County,” said Riddle.
