For those of you working with companies and organizations in Knox County,
I'd like to ask a favor.
I am working with a team of Union Planters employees on behalf of the United
Way of Greater Knoxville to call on area CEOs before the official start of
the 2000 giving campaign (which starts in August). The purpose of these
calls is to get an early foot in the door to make sure their company: 1) is
asked for a corporate gift, 2) has considered the loaned executive program
and 3) has an employee designated as their internal coordinator for the
employee campaign.
One of my responsibilities with this program is to identify at least one
company or organization that is not yet a United Way donor or doesn't have
an employee campaign set up yet. I would then meet with that company to
provide to them information and encourage them to consider the United Way.
If your organization is located in Knox County and is not yet a United Way
participant, or if you know of a company that isn't but would be a good
candidate, please let me know. I would appreciate your help.
