Dear [COMPANY] employees,
As the needs and challenges facing our most vulnerable neighbors continue to evolve, our community needs your support now more than ever. This is our opportunity to band together and be a force for Mighty Change.
Join us [XX DATE] as we kick off our Valley of the Sun United Way campaign.
Valley of the Sun United Way listened to our community to create MC2026, a five-year plan for Mighty Change in Maricopa County. This plan, like United Way, belongs to our community. It includes short-term and long-term goals that will create a more equitable future for those individuals who have been overlooked for too long.
Your gift to United Way will play a role in this plan. When you give, your dollars go right back into our community to address issues and inequities in Health, Housing and Homelessness, Education and Workforce Development.
You can learn more about those programs and the people they help on Stories of Mighty Change at www.vsuw.org/Stories.
You’re invited to attend the kick-off meeting on [DATE] at [LOCATION] to learn more about how the work of United Way makes an impact in our community. [OPTIONAL VOLUNTEER INFO] You are all welcome to join us at an [ONLINE/IN-PERSON] volunteer experience on [DATE if applicable].

Subject: Stories of Mighty Change
Good [Morning/Afternoon COMPANY] Team,
Our [COMPANY] United Way campaign plays a big role in creating a better, more equitable future for individuals, children and families in our community.
Your contributions support more than 150 programs at nonprofits across Maricopa County. Those programs support people in the areas of Education, Housing and Homelessness, Workforce Development and Health. We want to introduce you to one of those people.
Meet Mia.
Mia is a 15-year-old High School student currently enrolled in an Education program funded by Valley of the Sun United Way. Through the program, she was able to be paired with a caring adult mentor named Jeri. The two have been paired since Mia was in fifth grade. In the last five years, Jeri has become a source of consistent stability for Mia. Her family is working to overcome several barriers, including generational poverty and Mia wasn’t sure what her future would hold. With Jeri’s support and encouragement, she is now excited to finish school and go to college. Mia says she wants a stable job that allows her to have her own place, have pets and travel the world. Things she wasn’t sure were possible.
Mia’s story is one among thousands made possible through your generosity. I hope you’ll check out Stories of Mighty Change at www.vsuw.org/Stories to hear the others.
