UNITED WAY -
PLEASE DESIGNATE YOUR GIFT TO THE BOY SCOUTS
Heart of
In order for the Central
Florida Council to receive funds from the Heart of Florida United Way campaign,
donors must specifically designate all or a portion of their gift to the
Central Florida Council. Since 2001, we no longer receive an allocation from
the pool of non designated funds (which is the majority of the funds
United Way dollars
are earmarked to support Scouting for Food and our outreach to disadvantaged
youth. We serve more than 62,000 total
youth, of which over 7,000 are boys from at-risk communities; and we collect
over 500,000 pounds of food for needy families.
In the Brevard, Lake/Sumter and Volusia/Flagler County
United Ways, we remain a member
agency. In these United Ways, we receive
both designations and allocations. In
Brevard, our designations exceed our allocations.
Please help us spread
the word to Scouting constituents by:
·
Calling or
sending a reminder email to friends of Scouting.
·
Making
announcements at Scout meetings.
·
Talking it up at
work to those you know who support Scouting.
·
And of course,
designate all or a portion of your gift.
Anything you can do
to help us spread the word in the Heart of Florida United Way area would be
very much appreciated.
Sincerely,
Fred W. Leonhardt Ron
