Local Firm Owes Fundraising Success to Enthusiastic Employees
May 10, 2007
Through the contributions of local businesses, such as DiGiovine Hnilo Jordan and Johnson Ltd., Naperville United Way is able to support a broad range of programs that improve lives.
For the past six years, Liz Gonzalez, firm administrator at DHJ and J, has enthusiastically led the company?s United Way fundraising campaign.
How did you become involved with United Way?
Our managing partner, Tom Jordan, is a past board member and long-time supporter of the Naperville United Way. Tom asked me if I would be interested in heading up our campaign. He talked to me about what a fantastic organization it is and how they go about supporting such a broad range of programs locally.
Why is your campaign so successful year after year?
We run a fun and energetic campaign with raffles and prizes donated by our company. It?s terrific to see everyone getting involved and making those pledges. We try to have as much fun as we can with our campaign before tax season hits ? then the fun is officially over!
What are the rewards for you as a volunteer and contributor to United Way?
Each year when DHJ and J kicks off a new campaign, I am rewarded with a great feeling of knowing our staff contributions and volunteered time will make a difference in our community. I am confident that my contributions are going to worthwhile agencies that count on me. As campaign coordinator, I can easily translate that feeling to the rest of our staff because I truly believe it.
Investing in United Way helps more than one person, one charity or one issue, because we support a broad range of programs that improve lives. United Way is the most effective way to invest in our community to create positive, lasting change.
