Dear John,
Thank you for your lasting commitment to our community and to Valley of the Sun United Way.
This year marks a truly special milestone, our 100th year of impact, made possible by generous and compassionate leaders like you.
From our earliest days as the Community Chest, neighbors came together to care for one another through the most challenging times, from the Great Depression to the aftermath of World War I. Even then, our founders shared one belief: that when we unite, we can overcome anything.
That same spirit lives on today in you, and in every act of generosity that strengthens our community. As we celebrate a century of progress and look to meet the moment of today, we continue to partner with local organizations in education, housing and homelessness, health, and workforce development to ensure every child, every family, and every individual has the opportunity to thrive.
Because of you, our community is stronger, more connected, and more resilient. Our needs are local, and so is the impact you make. Together, we are honoring the past, shaping the future, and creating lasting change for all.
Thank you for making every gift count, and for being an essential part of this legacy of care and progress.
Here are a couple of examples of how your support has impacted our community.
