Our 2008-09 Kick-off marks the beginning of our 2009 Campaign Year and Season. It’s a fabulous opportunity to mingle with friends, partner and get involved with United Way agencies! Through the generosity of the Ritz Carlton St. Thomas, the venue and delicious breakfast in past years were complimentary; and this year is no exception. We could not accomplish measurable, community service outcomes without you, our donors, volunteers and supporters. Our hope Kick-off will be our best, ever! Call, mail or e-mail your Kick-off pledges now.
