State and Federal Communications just wrapped up its 2012 United Way Campaign and it was a success. We are proud to say this is our twelfth campaign for the organization and we are believers in the work they do.

Each year United Way brings in a speaker from one of the agencies they support so that we can see how our contributions go to work in the community. This year we had the privilege of hearing a representative from the Salvation Army speak to us about the vital services they offer in the community and how United Way has been integral in supporting that work.

Each year year State and Federal Communications tries innovative ways to meet our fundraising goal. This year we set up two teams, the Stars and the Stripes. The team with the highest percentage of team members contributing what United Way calls “Fair Share Plus” would win a number of prizes.

The winning team was the Stripes, headed up by IT Business and Operations Analyst Dave McPeek. Congratulations team Stripes!

State and Federal Communications came up with 129% of the target goal that United Way had given us! We are thrilled. Thank you to everyone who so generously contributed.
