August 17, 2007 - Midland, TX – The City of Midland Employees are helping to get the 2007 United Way of Midland geared up for a great campaign year. They have already begun their employee “Pacesetter Campaign” before the Community Kickoff date of September 6th.
To raise additional funds they are hosting a Softball Tournament. Teams are comprised of employees, family and friends from the City as well as a United Way of Midland team made up of United Way volunteers and supporters. The United Way of Midland team will play their first game against the COM Parks Department at 9:00am on Saturday, August 18, 2007 at Hidalgo Park (1401 Orchard Lane). If inclement weather, the tournament will be postponed until further notice.
Last year, city employees contributed over $17,000 for the United Way of Midland through fundraisers and employee pledges. Campaign coordinators expect to raise even more this year.
Funds raised during the 2007 Campaign will go to approved health and human service programs. United Way of Midland is currently funding 62 local programs through 25 program providers. A listing of these programs can be found at www.uwmidland.org.
