United Way Wakes Martin County's 'Inner Rocky'

 
United Way needs one final surge of support from the community to help deliver a knockout and is hoping its new, “Rocky”-inspired campaign video will produce that final winning round to help surpass its goal.
 
“This year, the need is greater than ever and so the fundraising goal is higher. One out of three Martin County residents benefits from the programs and services provided by 46 nonprofit agencies that United Way funds locally,” said Stacy Ranieri, this year’s United Way campaign chair and chief illuminator at The Firefly Group.
 
“We created this video, hoping that people will take a moment to watch it and smile, find their ‘inner Rocky’ and join us as we sprint to the top of the stairs on our way towards reaching this year’s goal!”
 

Advancing the common good in Martin County

The United Way of Martin County Board of Directors and staff recently shared an exercise to deeply explore their personal vision and motivation for helping the community.

That discussion expanded with a series of Community Conversations, engaging 150 participants from business, nonprofit organizations, government agencies, United Way Board members, staff, parents and community volunteers. The result was six priority areas with clear strategies and measurements: End Hunger; Strengthen Families; Health; Education; Jobs; and Ensure Safety.
