Campaign 2008

Six donor incentive prizes will be awarded to contributors to the 2008 Campaign, United Way of Broome County's annual fund drive. They included a 2008 automobile, a room full of furniture, $2,500 in gasoline, and three prizes of $1,000 in groceries.

The prizes are...

Wegmans Food Market in Johnson City again will give away three $1,000 gift cards, one each to three people who pledged to donate $1 per week or more to the 2008 United Way Campaign.  This is the sixth year in a row that Wegmans has donated a prize to the Campaign. The gift cards can be used for groceries or any other store merchandise.
This year $2,500 in Valero gasoline--enough to drive about 12,500 miles--will be donated by Manley's to a person who agreed to contribute $2 or more a week to the 2008 United Way Campaign. Manley's Might Mart also donated gasoline cards as an incentive in the 2007 Campaign.
As another incentive to encourage donations, Olum’s Furniture Company agreed to donate a room full of furniture (but not electronics or appliances) worth $3,000 to a person who pledges to donate $2.50 or more a week to the 2008 United Way Campaign.
Those who agree to donate $3 per week or more to the 2008 Campaign are eligible to enter a drawing for a 2008 Chevrolet Aveo five-door hatchback, which will be donated by Gault Chevrolet of  Endicott. It is rated at 37 miles per gallon on the highway.

Drawings for all six donor incentives will be held at United Way’s Thank You/Awards reception in December. A donor who met the eligibility requirements for the drawing at a particular pledge amount may also enter the drawings for the lower pledge amounts. A separate entry card must be completed for each type of prize. A specific amount of approved community service may 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 are available from the United Way representative at each organization conducting an in-house United Way campaign, or by contacting United Way. No donor funds will be used for any of these prizes.

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