Ada Regional United Way by Latricia Bryant

Ada Regional United Way (ARUW)is a non-profit organization originally established in 1947 as Community Chest. Our mission statement is: To improve lives by coordinating and promoting the caring power in the community. Our vision statement is: To be the “way” in which volunteers, resources, and agencies are “united” to enhance the quality of life in our community. ARUW has become a community building organization, not simply a fund raising entity. We are involved in the entire community.

And the thermemeter continues to rise...

Our community is well on the way to a successful campaign goal. The Board of Directors of Ada Regional United Way voted to set a very conservative goal for this year's 2011 Campaign.

We have completed our Pace Setter Campaign with Ada Evening News, Citizens Bank, Peoples Electric Coop and Thompson Agency making a huge difference in holding an early employee campaign.

Several local volunteers worked on the annual Busy Blitz including the small businesses in our area. The volunteers visited these businesses during the 2nd week of September.

Several additional businesses and organizations have made donations since then.

If you have not had time to contribute, please take a minute and send in your donation.

You can make a huge impact on the entire community by making a difference in one person. No matter how large or how small - your contribution makes a difference.
