Subject: How to Live the United Way

Dear <insert employee name>,
At <insert company name>, we’ve always been about helping others and strengthening the community. Now more than ever, that commitment matters. Soon, you’ll have the opportunity to show how much you care by supporting the annual United Way campaign.

United Way of Licking County fights for the health, education, and financial stability of every person in our community. Your donation, no matter the amount, makes a meaningful difference.
With one gift to United Way, you will touch the lives of many individuals and families. When we reach out a hand to one, we influence the condition of all. We all win when a child has a head start on quality education that leads to success in future jobs, when individuals have enough income to support a family through retirement, and when we all enjoy good health.
These results and changes have benefits that ripple out to the community as a whole, helping others and strengthening the community. Now, more than ever, your gift goes further with United Way of Licking County.
We will be kicking off our United Way of Licking County workplace campaign on <insert date>. Our campaign team has put together a series of great events for us to support. Let’s make this the most successful campaign ever!
Please join me in giving to United Way and complete the enclosed contribution form (or pledge online at www.unitedwaylc.org). Remember you can give, you can advocate, and you can volunteer. 
That’s what it means when we say: United is the Way!
If you have any questions about the campaign, please contact <insert employee campaign coordinator name and contact information>.
Sincerely,

<insert name of CEO>
