San Juan United Way Exceeds $3 Million Dollar Goal!!!
Despite an economic recession and high unemployment, Marshall Plummer, 2009 Campaign Chairman for San Juan United Way, announced a total of $3,026,372 raised in the fall campaign. The goal had been set at $3 million. “What a great community we live in with such generous neighbors”, Plummer said.
Glenn Kellow, President of BHP Billiton New Mexico Coal, accepted an award on behalf of the company and employees for being the first Million Dollar donor in SJUW’s 50 years of operation. Scott Michlin presented Mr. Kellow with the award. “We so appreciate the hard work and dedication of BHP Billiton employees. They have really stepped up their campaign this year, and we know the funds will be greatly needed this coming year by all of our agencies.” Michlin said. Also presented with a special award was ConocoPhillips for their outstanding volunteerism on the Day of Caring. Bill Rainbolt accepted the award. ConocoPhillips had 265 employees volunteer their time on the 19th Annual Day of Caring held September 11, 2009. Over 70 projects were adopted by about 450 volunteers at various non-profits agencies in San Juan County.
San Juan United Way is turning 50!!
San Juan United Way, or The Farmington Community Fund as it was known, was incorporated in 1960. The first year, the Campaign Chairman, Mr. Jess May, set the campaign goal at $40,000. This goal was not met and they debated whether to continue with the Community Fund. Thankfully they had the courage and the tenacity to continue.
Throughout the last 50 years, San Juan United Way has continued to serve San Juan County with a commitment for high standards of excellence and with an outstanding body of community supporters. San Juan United Way has grown from supporting just a few agencies to our current funding of 41 programs and 18 partner agencies. Significant dollars in grants and emergency funding to agencies both inside and outside the United Way system have also been provided.
The Move is On!!
Last year we reported that Dr. Floyd and Naomi Parker generously donated a building to San Juan United Way. This building is currently being renovated from a Medical office to a Business office. The completion of this project and the move into our new home is scheduled for Spring. Yes, we are getting excited!
