Sample Kick Off Speech Thank you for being here today with me to celebrate our United Way campaign kick off and to talk about all we can do for those in need in our community. Last year, because of the caring spirit of the employees here at (Company/Organization Name), we raised (insert total dollars your organization raised last year) to help make this a better community in which we all live and work. I am excited about the opportunity that we have in front of us to do even more. United Way brings people together to turn the stories around for those most in need in Central Kentucky. When a child succeeds in school, when a mother can provide regular meals for her family or when an elderly person can live independently in their own home--we all benefit. United Way improves the of tens-of-thousands of people each year by: Addressing Basic Needs, injustices, inequities, lack of resources and other barriers that move families forward. And, leading initiatives that focus on School Readiness by improving the quality of childcare, family support, early intervention and equipping parents to make positive choices for their families. Also by focusing on Student Success by helping children and youth achieve their potential by emphasizing education as the foundation for personal fulfillment, economic security and societal contributions. And last but certainly not least, the focus on Financial Stability provides investments in economic empowerment so low-to-middle income families have the resources and support to meet their needs, weather emergencies and invest in a brighter future. Who wouldn’t want to be part of helping our neighbors, family and friends in those areas and being a part of meeting the Big Bold Community Goal of moving 10,000 families to self-sufficiency by 2020. I know that when I make a contribution to United Way my money is going to maintain the quality of life that we all value here in the Bluegrass and will help those most in need of our support. Reach out a hand to one and influence the condition of all. Be part of the change. Together, when we LIVE UNITED, we can inspire hope and create opportunities for a better tomorrow. I hope I can count on you this year to LIVE UNITED. Thank you again for giving your time to be here today, and for your dedication to (Company/Organization Name).
