United Way of North Carolina announces Spirit of North Carolina Award recipients.
The Spirit of North Carolina Awards for Campaign Excellence is sponsored annually by the United Way of North Carolina. The Spirit awards provide statewide recognition for outstanding commitment and support to communities through local United Way involvement.
The Spirit Awards were developed to recognize companies and their employees that demonstrate campaign excellence and community commitment. The Spirit Committee judged more than 70 outstanding submissions from top companies, organizations, governmental entities, healthcare and educational institutions, as well as businesses – large and small. Awards were presented to 32 companies and/or organizations during the United Way of North Carolina’s Annual Meeting on February 3, 2012 in Pinehurst, NC.
Organizations and companies were judged on a variety of criteria outlined in the Spirit of North Carolina Standards of Excellence including leadership giving, volunteerism, employee participation and giving levels, year-round education, corporate support, incentive programs, and campaign rallies just to name a few.
Listed below are the 2011 Spirit of North Carolina applicants. An * denotes winning companies.
