Pacesetters Kick Off
United Way's Pacesetter organizations kicked off their fund-raising campaigns for United Way on July 29 with a special meeting at The Salvation Army. Pacesetters are organizations that hold their United Way employee giving campaigns a month earlier than the overall campaign to build momentum and set the pace for the rest of the community to follow.
Twelve organizations are participating in the Pacesetter campaign this year. They are Anderson Design Center, BancorpSouth, City of Hattiesburg, Domestic Abuse Family Shelter, The First, Forrest General Hospital, Hattiesburg Clinic, Mississippi Power, Regions, Southeast Mississippi Rural Health Initiative, Target and Zeon Chemicals.
