Childcare Resources is a United Way Pacesetter
Childcare Resources is participating as a Pacesetter organization for the 2008 United Way of Central Alabama annual fund-raising campaign! As a Pacesetter, Childcare Resources team members are holding their internal UWCA campaign this summer — "setting the pace" for other organizations that will begin their UWCA campaign efforts in September. Childcare Resources team members are making pledges to the campaign and taking part in fundraisers — bake sales, book sales and the like — to raise $10,000. Childcare Resources is one of two nonprofit organizations and 30 companies serving as Pacesetters this year.
