Pam’s Party Line for April 26, 2012
3 firms receive highest United Way campaign honor
Entergy River Bend, ExxonMobil and Turner Industries were recognized with Capital Area United Way’s Five Star Award at its annual end-of-campaign reception April 17 at the Baton Rouge Little Theater. The award honors companies that “fully support” CAUW and the community through five key actions involving giving, advocacy and volunteerism.
It’s efforts from companies like these, individual donors and those who supported CAUW’s various other fundraising events that allowed the 2011 campaign to see an increase over the previous year.
Also receiving awards were Dupont, Movin’ on Up Small Business Award; Louisiana Department of Culture Recreation & Tourism, Movin’ on Up Medium Business Award; Georgia-Pacific, Movin’ on Up Large Business Award; Criterion Catalysts & Technologies, New Company Campaign Award; NuStar Energy, Top Notch Award; Associated Grocers, Leading the Way Award; Louisiana Department of Natural Resources and Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Louisiana, Campaign Spirit Award; Joann Fridge of SGS Petroleum, Best of the Best Award; Westlake Chemical, Live United Small Business Award; and Mosaic, Live United Medium Business Award.
