Crayola and Employees Surpass $1 Million in Annual Giving

United Way of the Greater Lehigh Valley congratulates Crayola on becoming our newest partner to contribute more than $1 million a year to improving lives in our community.
 
“Crayola has enjoyed a long-standing relationship with United Way of the Greater Lehigh Valley, and proudly contributed to our community through our involvement with United Way.  While Crayolians have always been generous with their time, talent and treasure, I am extremely proud that they saw the needs in our community and answered the call to help with such enthusiasm!” remarked Crayola President & CEO, Rich Wuerthele.
 
In addition to surpassing $1 million in annual giving, Crayola employees increased their contributions by 28% during the 2021 United Way campaign.  
 
“Crayola and their team are valued partners, and their support strengthens our ability to build a community that is safe, equitable and strong,” said David Lewis, President, United Way of the Greater Lehigh Valley. “United, we can Build Tomorrow Today, and their deep commitment will allow us to continue to meet the Greater Lehigh Valley’s ever-changing needs.”
 
Crayola joins Air Products, City Center Allentown and PPL as one of four companies to contribute $1 million or more to UWGLV. Crayola is a long-time member of the United Way Cornerstone Society, which consists of 20 generous and deeply committed partners who make a special effort to go above and beyond helping our community with annual contributions of $100,000 or more.
