Planning for Long-Term Impact: Why Andy Ludwig and Cheryl Borchers Support United Way

member spotlight - Andy Ludwig and Cheryl Borchers

Creating lasting change takes long-term investment, thoughtful planning and a commitment to strengthening the community for future generations. For Andy Ludwig and Cheryl Borchers, that philosophy guides both their philanthropy and their support of United Way of the Greater Lehigh Valley.

Residents of Emmaus, Andy and Cheryl joined Tocqueville Society in 2017 because they value United Way’s strategic, community-focused approach to creating both immediate and long-term impact.

United Way Tocqueville Society recognizes philanthropic leaders whose generosity and leadership help strengthen education, healthy aging and community stability throughout the Greater Lehigh Valley. Today, over 420 deeply committed Tocqueville Society families have helped fuel more than $23 million in contributions over the last year.

Andy and Cheryl’s support reflects a shared belief in thoughtful philanthropy and planning ahead to help ensure future generations have access to the resources and opportunities they need to thrive.

“We support United Way for its disciplined, community-focused approach to addressing both urgent needs and long-term stability,” Andy shared. “Its emphasis on measurable outcomes and efficient deployment of resources aligns with how we evaluate where our time and philanthropic capital can have the greatest impact.”

In addition to their Tocqueville support, Andy volunteers on United Way’s Impact Council, helping advance solutions that strengthen lives across the community.

We’re grateful for Andy and Cheryl’s continued commitment to creating meaningful, lasting change throughout the Greater Lehigh Valley.
