Red Feather Leadership Society
In 1998, several community leaders felt they should take the lead in contributing to the United Way. In this spirit, the Red Feather Society was founded. The contributors of the Red Feather Society are leaders of business, government, and those that are willing to invest back into the community in a very tangible manner by giving at least $1,000 each.
The first year, there were only 9 members. Today, 24 years later, there are 165members! This leadership category represents 51% of the entire campaign contributions.
Thank you to all our Red Feathers for their continued support!
