Giving Tuesday: Rowan County United Way

There’s a fundamental truth that gives us hope – that together we can do extraordinary things.

GivingTuesday on November 29th. In honor of this global giving movement, a generous donor has offered to give a dollar-for-dollar match up to $5,000 to raise $10,000 total for YOUR United Way on this important day.
