The United Way of St. Lucie County was honored to receive the 2012 St. Lucie County Chamber of Commerce Business & Industry Award in the area of non-profit. 

This award was bestowed on United Way for their contribution to the community and for all they do to improve the quality of life in St. Lucie County. 

For 50 years, United Way of St. Lucie County, through the support of local businesses, volunteers, and donors, has strategically addressed unmet needs and unacceptable human conditions in St. Lucie County. As a leader in charitable giving, United Way continues to improve lives of St. Lucie County residents through community collaborations and through their ability to mobilize the caring power of our community. 

“We’re extremely proud of the work all United Way-funded programs are accomplishing,” said United Way CEO Karen Knapp. “United Way donors will continue to see a tangible return on their investments as our community works collectively to improve lives.”

United Way will officially kick off its 50th annual community fundraising campaign, October 4th, by hosting a Community Leaders Breakfast to honor individuals, agencies and businesses that made significant contributions to human service needs in St. Lucie County in the past year.
