The Elk River community was recognized by the United Way of North Carolina at its Annual Meeting and Awards Celebration on February 3rd in Pinehurst, NC. In attendance were representatives from many of the state's top corporate, financial, medical and educational institutions.
Organizations who excel in their support of United Way each year are honored with the Spirit of North Carolina Award. The Spirit Awards inspire employees, companies, and communities toward a mutual goal of improving lives across the state. Over 30 groups from throughout North Carolina were selected to receive the Spirit of Excellence Award for 2011.
This year, the Elk River Club of Banner Elk, NC was honored with the prestigious Chairman's Award for its outstanding contribution to the High Country United Way. Since beginning a formal campaign in 2003, Elk River residents have contributed over $1,000,000 to their local United Way campaign, helping the agencies and organizations that improve lives across the North Carolina High County.
