Letter from
Matt Hunter, President
c
Dear Friends,
On behalf of United Way’s Board of Directors, staff and volunteers, it is my pleasure to
welcome you to our Annual Celebration & Awards Luncheon. We’re so glad you’re here to
celebrate with us!
I’m honored to serve as President of United Way of Greater Duluth during such an exciting
time. New faces on the leadership team, an upcoming merger with United Way of SuperiorDouglas County, shifting ground in workplace giving, increasing diversity of philanthropic
options, expanding availability of donor-centered technology tools – these changes and
challenges are keeping us all busy!
Alongside all of this transformative work, there’s one constant – you. We could not do a
thing without partners like you. You help us raise, invest and leverage millions of dollars
annually in philanthropic contributions. You choose to give, advocate and volunteer through
United Way to make life better in our community. You work with us to create long-term
social change that produces healthy, well-educated and financially-stable individuals and
families. You are the United Way. And I could not be prouder to serve alongside you in this
important venture.
To all organizers, sponsors and attendees of this celebration, their families, friends, and
colleagues, thank you and enjoy the event.
Gratefully yours,
Matt Hunter
President, United Way of Greater Duluth

Programs

United Way 2-1-1
United Way 2-1-1 provides information on and referrals to community, health, and social
services. A 24-hour, state-wide service, you can reach United Way 2-1-1 by calling 2-1-1 or
800-543-7709. The Duluth “hub” serves residents in 39 counties in Minnesota as well as
Douglas County in NW Wisconsin.
United Way Fundraising Campaign
Each year, more than 400 local workplaces and thousands of individual donors participate
in United Way of Greater Duluth’s Community Fundraising Campaign. This campaign
supports local health and human service programs that create real, lasting change for
individuals and families in the Greater Duluth area and on the North Shore. Participating in
this program helps businesses raise their public profile while assuring our partner agencies
can focus on their clients. For more information contact Michelle Hargrave at 218-726-4771.
United Way Community Services
The AFL-CIO Community Services Program works with union members in a variety of ways.
It assists union members in need. As a liaison, UWCS informs labor groups and change
makers about the obstacles those in poverty face when trying to find employment. It also
mobilizes the caring power of working union members to get them actively involved and
participating in the United Way campaign and volunteerism. For more information contact
Lynette Swanberg at 218-726-4775.
United Way Volunteer Center
United Way’s Volunteer Center connects workplaces and individuals with volunteer
opportunities at over 50 local non-profit agencies. Volunteering is a hands-on way to see the
impact local agencies are creating in our community and to help advance this work. Through
the Volunteer Center’s initiatives like Reader, Tutor, Mentor, or Day of Caring, agencies are
provided with valuable skills and resources from community members. For more information
contact Liz Pawlik at 218-724-4889.

Community Giving Campaign
Recognition
c
Your Gift Has Power.
Every dollar you give to United Way creates opportunities and inspires hope for a better
tomorrow. Your gift to United Way supports the foundation of our community through the
work of local programs that impact people’s lives in a real and meaningful way. Your
gift to United Way impacts all of us who live and work here.
With the help of your gift, last year:
• More than 2 million pounds of food were distributed.
• Over 221,000 meals were served.
• More than 410,000 articles of free clothing were distributed to those in need.
• More than 38,000 nights of shelter were provided to those with no place to stay.
• Legal assistance was provided on over 4,300 cases.
• 9,100 children and youth participated in high-quality early childhood and youth
development programs that provide a strong foundation for their success in school
and life.
United Way works together with non-profit agencies and community volunteers to invest
wisely in our community in order to create real, long-lasting change. Advancing the
common good is less about helping one person at a time and more about changing
systems to help all of us. United Way leads a united effort to strengthen our community
by mobilizing resources to improve people’s lives.
We get results.

LIVE UNITED Award
c
The LIVE UNITED Award is presented to an individual or group in our community that not
only understands what it means to LIVE UNITED, but demonstrates it throughout the year.
LIVE UNITED is not only a mission and a goal, it is a call to action – to give, advocate, and
volunteer in order to improve the lives of everyone in the community. The recipient of this
award leads by example, and today we recognize and honor Karen B Alworth.
Give. Advocate. Volunteer. LIVE UNITED.
It’s more than a nice phrase; it truly
describes Karen Alworth’s dedication and
commitment to United Way.
Karen first became involved with United
Way in 1976. She was a summer employee
at Kellogg’s in Battle Creek, Michigan,
where her job was to put the raisins in the
Raisin Bran. After she donated an entire
day’s wage to the United Way campaign,
she inspired other employees to also give
generously. “When I was growing up, my
hero was Helen Keller. She once said,
‘Alone we can do so little; together we can
do so much.’ It’s the way I’ve wanted to
live my life. This is United Way,” said Karen.
Karen B Alworth
After moving to Duluth, Karen worked as a United Way Campaign Executive in the fall of 1979. She was
responsible for the accounts of small businesses in West Duluth and saw this as a great opportunity to
get to know the city.
Early in 1995 she became a co-chair of the UWGD Leadership Team, which raises more than 30% of
the campaign funds each year. Karen has served as co-chair of the Leadership Team for over 20 years.
Karen joined the UWGD Board of Directors in 2002 and served 9 years. During this time, she chaired
the Campaign Committee and served on the Campaign Cabinet, Governance, and Fund Distribution
Committees. Karen served as a co-chair in the 2007 United Way Campaign. Over the years, she has
been a part of nearly every United Way event - Chili Cook-off, Day of Caring, Bike Swap.
Karen and her husband, Royal, have four children. From AmeriCorps members serving with United Way
and Minnesota Reading Corps to volunteering with SOAR Career Solutions, all share her passion for
service and embrace the value of giving back to our community.

ENGAGEMENT
c
6 Ways to Partner with United Way
#1 WORKPLACE CAMPAIGN (W):
These are fun, morale-building activities that provide your staff with an easy,
affordable way to contribute to their community through payroll deduction or onetime gifts. In addition, incorporate the N EW HIRE/ RETIREE PROGRAM: Provide
opportunities and informational materials to new staff and retiring staff for starting
or continuing their contributions to United Way.
#2 CORPORATE GIFT (C):
Your tax-deductible corporate gift gets RESULTS: United Way collaborates with local
businesses, government, educational institutions, and non-profits to meet the most
pressing social service issues. These issues range from large scale ones such as
affordable housing to providing positive, youth-enrichment activities.
#3 SPECIAL EVENT (E):
The organization/business can host special events, either internally or community
wide, to raise money for United Way (e.g. golf tournament, bake sale, bowling
tournament, auction, etc.).
#4 SPONSORSHIPS or IN-KIND DONATIONS (S):
Maximize the visibility of your partnership with United Way and capitalize on
co-branding opportunities. Or, make a gift of a product or service to our upcoming
events.
#5 VOLUNTEER (V):
Give the gift of time - Volunteering is a hands-on way to see the impact local agencies
are creating in our community and to help advance this work. We can connect you
with roles that align with your abilities, interests, and availability.
#6 LEADERSHIP (L):
With an annual contribution of $1000 or more, Leadership contributors significantly
impact critical community needs
RESULT: RECOGNITION AND PRIDE - When you and your associates conduct a campaign,
sponsor an event, or organize a volunteer team, you grow morale, engage your employees, and
foster a sense of pride. In addition, United Way recognizes participating businesses at our
year-end Campaign Awards Celebration and in publications.
