Bill and Denise Spence to Chair 2017 Campaign for United Way of the Greater Lehigh Valley
Bill and Denise Spence to Chair 2017 Campaign for United Way of the Greater Lehigh Valley
Published: May 17, 2017
Bill and Denise Spence will chair the 100
th
anniversary year campaign for United Way of the Greater Lehigh Valley.
Bill who is Chairman, President and CEO of PPL Corp, previously served as a board member for UWGLV, and his wife Denise is an active member of UWGLV’s Women United affinity group. They are also members of United Way’s Tocqueville Society, a group of generous, philanthropic individuals committed to strengthening the Lehigh Valley community.
“Denise and I are very excited about this 100-year anniversary,” said Bill. “Our belief is that the community, our employees and all long-time supporters will step up to make this a historic fundraising effort.”
In addition to increasing their employee match for the 2017 campaign, PPL Corp has generously made a campaign commitment of $500,000 as part of a Leadership challenge, which will match dollar for dollar on new or increased gifts. Other local corporations have joined the challenge—Air Products and Crayola have both announced that they will each give $100,000 toward this initiative.
“The 2017 campaign kicked off on April 1
st
and Bill and Denise have already shown great leadership and commitment to making this historic anniversary year campaign a success,” said David Lewis, President of UWGLV.
For 100 years, United Way of the Greater Lehigh Valley has been focused on making our community a stronger, healthier place to live, work and play. “Because of the generosity of Lehigh Valley residents, lives are being transformed, those of their families, friends and neighbors,” Lewis said. ”We are honored to serve alongside all of them today to create a brighter future tomorrow.”
Mission of United Way of the Greater Lehigh Valley
The mission of United Way of the Greater Lehigh Valley is to provide the leadership, convene the partnerships and develop the resources and solutions that improve our community. We remain committed to these goals and sincerely appreciate the continued support of partners, program providers and donors throughout the Lehigh Valley.
