💙 THANK YOU TO OUR LOANED EXECUTIVE EMPLOYERS! 💙

A huge THANK YOU to the companies who have generously loaned their employees to United Way of Etowah County during this year's campaign season! 👏

When a company loans an employee to United Way, they aren't just giving us someone's time—they're making an investment in our entire community. ❤️

These Loaned Executives spend their days visiting local businesses, building relationships, sharing the United Way mission and encouraging others to give back. Their work helps us reach more people and make an even greater impact throughout Etowah County.

We are incredibly grateful to the employers who recognize the importance of giving back and are willing to share their talented employees with us. Your support makes our campaign stronger!

To our Loaned Executive employers:
👏 Thank you for your partnership.
👏 Thank you for your trust.
👏 Thank you for supporting your employee's service to our community.
👏 And thank you for helping us LIVE UNITED!

Together, we're building a stronger community. 💙

Our Dolly Parton's Imagination Library of Alabama is growing and we could use your help!

Donate now at: www.girlfriendgala.com

Our Imagination Library is growing and we need your help!

We have seen an incredible influx of new enrollments in Dolly Parton's Imagination Library, which means more local children are receiving the gift of a new book every month!
While we are thrilled to see so many families taking advantage of this amazing program, more children means more funding is needed to keep the books coming.
Your donation can help us continue providing free, high-quality books to children in our community from birth through age 5. Just $31 can sponsor one child for an entire year!
Thank you for helping keep the pages turning!

To donate visit www.girlfriendgala.com or email [email protected]
