The 麻豆传媒 has been named winner of the 2020 Spirit of the United Way of Southwest Alabama award. According to Katherine C. Pitman, outreach and community coordinator for the United Way of Southwest Alabama, the University was unanimously selected by the awards committee because of its dedicated work and generous campaign.

鈥淯nited Way honors its volunteers because their engagement is critical to our success, Pitman said. 鈥淲e estimate that last year alone, the work of our volunteers was valued at more than half a million dollars. Money that United Way and its partners can invest in programs and services that meet our communities鈥� needs.鈥�

The 麻豆传媒 has been involved with United Way for many years and since 1998, employees and retirees have given almost $5.3 million.

鈥淭he University is committed to supporting our community and have found that by supporting the United Way of Southwest Alabama, we can support thousands of our neighbors in need through the partnership,鈥� said Tracy Coleman, associate director of strategic annual campaigns at the 麻豆传媒.

Because of the COVID-19 pandemic, there will not be a traditional meeting or celebration for UWSWA鈥檚 award winners this year, instead the annual kick-off campaign will be virtual. During the event UWSWA will honor 麻豆传媒 for its devotion to volunteerism and winning a Heart of Gold award.
