Naperville United Way Names Campaign Co-Chairs

NAPERVILLE, IL ? Naperville United Way has named Art Littlefield, of Financial Strategies and Solutions Group, and Robert Heap, of Kuhn, Heap and Monson Law Offices, as this year?s campaign co-chairs. They will lead the 2007 annual campaign with a goal of $1,100,000. The campaign begins with the Naperville United Way?s ?Under the Sea? art sculpture auction event on Friday, September 14th. The annual auction event has averaged over $100,000 in campaign revenue over the last 6 years. Littlefield and Heap will look to area businesses and individuals to raise the balance over the next 6 months.

?We are thrilled to provide leadership for an organization that makes a difference in the lives of people who live in the Naperville area,? says Littlefield. ?Naperville United Way studies Naperville?s most pressing needs and has put together a plan to create the most impact by investing in an array of human care programs.?

?We are all fortunate to live in a growing and caring community. The Naperville United Way has been successful in raising monies to invest locally, helping address the many human care issues we have in Naperville,? says Heap. ?Although a wonderful community, Naperville has its own needs and we are working very hard to ensure positive outcomes in the lives of people.?

In 2007, the Naperville United Way invested $900,000 into human care programs, falling short of the $1.7 million in requests from partner agencies. This has left a large gap in funding programs which now do not have the resources to fully support the needs of Naperville residents. ?It is very important that Naperville has a healthy network of human care programs,? says Heap. ?I believe we all have a responsibility to help those who are less fortunate.?
