“We give to United Way because their emphasis on education and building strong families aligns with our values.”

United Way Tocqueville Society is an alliance of nearly 350 successful business and philanthropic leaders and their families who share a strong commitment and passion for investing in our local community. Bill and Peggy Hecht, Tocqueville Society members for almost 3 decades, share their personal reasons for giving back through United Way.

“We donate to United Way for several reasons. Their emphasis on education and building strong families aligns with our values. Additionally, the ease of donating, as they identify the most effective organizations, and their excellent fund stewardship make us confident that our contributions have a meaningful impact.”

Bill, retired PPL Corporation chairman, President and CEO and past United Way board member, and Peggy reside in Lower Macungie Township and have 2 children: Gregory and Michael.
