$500,000 within a year. “The Suwannee Valley region is not only a wonderful place to live because of the beautiful natural resources, the cool springs and many lakes, the huge oak trees draped with Spanish moss and the open spaces which yield fields for crops and grazing farm animals,” Williams said. “The Suwannee Valley region is a wonderful place to live, because it’s populated with many caring individuals who contribute daily to advancing the common good.” Mike McKee, communications committee member and former UWSV president, said that while United Way continues to embrace the national theme, the local theme will be Create Happy Endings. “United Way creates happy endings,” he said. The campaign video for 2014 was released during the event, which provided examples of how local agencies Krista Bedenbaugh, of the Target Distribution Center, is one Mike McKee, the 2011-12 United Way of Suwannee Valley were able to help residents in need as of the four Pacesetter company speakers that spoke about past president, addresses an audience of more than 150 peo- a result of money raised in previous what their company is doing to contribute to the United Way. ple Thursday. campaigns. The video showed how the Arc North Florida was able to service residents with disabilities, such as Harry Smith who was diagnosed with cerebral palsy, and how Jeff Parker, of Columbia County Senior Citizens, was able to assist senior citizens who dealt with health issues. While the microphone was passed around the room, speakers from different businesses were able to express their gratitude and spoke about the money they had raised for agencies in the previous years. Sherri Cassidy, from Vystar Credit Union, said they helped raise $4,000 during last year’s campaign. Krista Bedenbaugh, from the Target Distribution Center, said they had started their campaign early and had already raised over $13,000. She said she was pleased to say they had a 100 percent participation, and the money they raised went straight back to the community. Cessie Cothran, from Peoples State Bank, said their company had partici- pated in the campaign for the last few Photos by JASON MATTHEW WALKER/Lake City Reporter years. A group of United Way of Suwannee Valley supporters are shown on Thursday at the 2014-2015 Campaign Kick-off at the Florida “We would spend about 15 minutes Gateway College Howard Conference Center. with our employees to explain about the agencies United Way supports,” she said. “It’s a great opportunity to get involved.” Every contri- bution is important, said Don Fenneman, the Challenger’s Club Chair. He said faith- ful, regular contri- butions fund the United Way. With the campaign season starting last night, he said there are already 28 challenger’s club members with pledges totaling over $26,000. Fenneman said the goal is to raise $150,047.

With the amount pledged to date from the Challenger’s Club members and the results reported by the Pacesetter companies, Mckee said the total campaign pledges have raised nearly $80,000. Williams concluded the evening in describing to the audience what makes a successful campaign. He said a successful campaign is when people give up their lunch hour or come in an hour early to dedicate their time to support the campaign. “Our goal is $500,000. And we will raise $500,000,” Williams said. “We have set the bar high, and we’ll contin- ue to raise it higher and higher — the sky is the limit.”
