United Way Honors The Unity Group with Spirit of the United Way Award

United Way of Whatcom County celebrated another successful campaign year by raising over $2.045 million the 3^rd largest amount in United Way of Whatcom County’s history.  The goal was $2 million. 

“The results speak for themselves. We had a really good campaign this year, and the community really stepped up,” said Peter Theisen, President of United Way of Whatcom County.  “Demand for services is at an all-time high and state funding is under pressure, so it’s nice that we can fill in the gap.”

At the April 21st Awards Banquet, a total of 26 organizations were honored with awards for exceptional participation and contributions.  The Unity Group was awarded the "Spirit of the United Way" award for the fifth consecutive year by earning a record contribution amount of $25,621 ($700 more than last year's contribution).
