Thanks to our small business community!
Every year we celebrate the successes of the campaign through our many lists – our Top 25 (most dollars raised) and Terrific 25 (most dollars raised per capita) celebrate mostly big businesses, and some smaller ones, too. We also celebrate our Wow Campaigns – those with a 10% increase over last year and new campaigns.
I’d like to use this space, though, to celebrate all the truly small businesses, many of them locally owned and operated, who contribute more modest yet important amounts to our campaign. I recently put out a challenge to local busineses to give $100 and here’s who accepted. Many gave much more than this, but all who gave are appreciated:

If you are a customer of one of these businesses, please be proud and thank them for their commitment to our community!
It’s great to see some of our local Louisville small businesses supporting The United Way.
It has been a difficult year for businesses and their employees so it is really nice to see some helping where they can.
B-Dry of Louisville is a great company. I have found that they also offer a free web site tool http://www.b-dry.com/wet-basement-analyzer.html that helps homeowners figure out their own water problems without having to worry about a pushy salesman.
All the best in the New Year to all the companies above who chose to support United Way.
Thanks, Pat!
