Kennametal hosts an annual golf outing to support United Way. For 4 years I organized the event, each year bringing in close to $200K for United Way.

“People may not realize there’s a lot of work and research behind United Way and the way they allocate these funds. The organization realizes that the people who live here know what they need best, and the organization listens.”

“I appreciate United Way because I can direct my financial donations to the Latino Community Center (LCC) which has provided family services and support to incoming immigrant and ethnic communities. These contributions have also helped provide education services to Latinx children and their families; support that extends to children as newborns all the way through their college years.”

I volunteer through the United Way to work alongside others who are not only philanthropic, but also share my desire to drive greater social change. I am able to further causes that I am passionate about while making good use of my knowledge, time, and resources.

I volunteer because I believe United Way is best positioned to understand where the biggest needs are in my community, and I feel fortunate that I can take part in helping provide solutions.

I remember attending my first info session, at a friend’s house, where they discussed how United Way is unique in the fact that you get to see how the funds are being used to enrich the lives of men, women, and children right here in our community. It’s so incredibly humbling and rewarding to be a part of that kind of movement.
