Mike Sanderson and Isabel Pimentel, both of Engineered Floors, led the charge in 2021 as the United Way Campaign Co-Chairs. Seeing the great need in our community, they volunteered to co-chair the campaign. Mike Sanderson and Isabel Pimentel have been huge supporters of United Way. Both Mike and Isabel have always given generously of both their financial resources and of their time. Co-chairing the campaign during a pandemic was a challenge, but this dynamic duo rose to the occasion. They believe strongly in United Way’s commitment to improving lives and creating lasting change. Having seen firsthand the impact of United Way, Mike, Isabel, and their team set a goal of $4.125 million!
Mike and Isabel’s passion for United Way and the people of this community is genuine and evident the moment they begin sharing about United Way. They recently gathered the United Way Campaign Cabinet to celebrate and announce that our community did indeed rise to the occasion during a very challenging year and met the $4.125 million goal! When our community was in crisis, United Way was there. Thanks to you, the work continues.
“I have always been inspired by our community and this year was no exception, with the guidance and support of United Way we were able to meet our campaign goal and provide those essential needs to individuals and families throughout Dalton and the surrounding areas. Both Isabel and I would like to express our appreciation to the members of our campaign cabinet. It is through their commitment to our community and United Way that we were able to meet this year’s goal of $4.125 million. We would also like to thank our generous business partners who have continued to support United Way despite the challenges that we continue to face. Isabel and I could not be prouder of our community for passionately bringing people together to improve lives, inspire donors, and unite community,” stated Mike Sanderson.
During the campaign, companies and individual donors across the community joined forces showing just how strong the Power of a Community United is! United Way improves the lives of over 50,000 individuals and families in Whitfield and Murray counties each year. United Way connects people in need with people who can help in Northwest Georgia.
