report United Way giving

Members of Haywood County’s United Way team are celebrating success in this year’s campaign. Haywood Company and InSouth Bank both have reported their campaign results, and it’s very positive.

Haywood Company employees were celebrating success when they wrapped up their annual United Way campaign. At the celebration, Wayne Jernigan and Alan Baker announced that the company raised over $76,590 in its yearly effort. Those who participated in the effort were entered in drawings for a variety of prizes. Clint Walker won the grand prize television, and Netsha Taylor won the JVC Camcorder.

Haywood Company’s report to the community includes $69,597 in pledges from employees and a $7,000 corporate donation. Haywood Company’s United Way Co-chairmen Jernigan and Baker are very proud of the company’s performance.

“Our team members make our United Way effort so successful each year,” said Jernigan, Haywood Company. “Because our team is so active, we are able to share hope and be proud that we are working to make things better for our friends, neighbors and community. We are proud to partner with United Way and encourage others to do the same.”

InSouth Bank recently announced their campaign results, too. This year, the bank raised over $11,600, which is a 28% increase over last year’s pledge. The pledge includes $10,667 from the employees, and a $1,000 corporate gift.

“I’m so thankful for the generous people that give every year to support our local United Way campaign,” said Alan Callery, Haywood County’s 2006-07 United Way campaign co-chairperson. “It is such a rewarding experience to be involved with an organization that helps meet such a variety of needs. I also appreciate the fact that our money stays in Haywood County and local people are the ones making all decisions concerning our United Way.”

Under the direction of Will Jones, Haywood County raised more than $167,000 in its 2005-06 United Way campaign. That money is being invested in 22 agencies and programs that are meeting the most important needs of Haywood County. Those agencies and programs include Boys & Girls Club, the Ben Rich Center, WRAP, and the Brownsville-Haywood County Rescue Squad.
