Together, We’re Getting Things Done Loyal Contributors
Have you given to United Way 10 years or more? If so, you are one of United Way of
Randolph County’s Loyal Contributors.
Perhaps you gave to another United Way before coming to Randolph County. No matter at
what level you give, or where, your gifts have made a difference and we want to thank you.
If you are a Loyal Contributor, we want to know! Simply check the Loyal Contributor box
on your pledge card and include the year that you recall beginning to support United Way.
By separate paths we came to Asheboro in
1951 and found a community of friendly,
welcoming and giving people. Since then we
have tried to repay the generosity shown to us
and our children by supporting charitable and
community improvement projects which make
Asheboro and Randolph County a better place
for all of us.
We believe that supporting United Way is an
ideal way of “giving back”!

The Board of Directors of the United Way of Randolph County offers its
sincere gratitude to everyone who donated their time, talents, and dollars to this
year’s campaign. The Board thanks all the businesses that supported the United
Way campaign and allowed its employees to volunteer at our community
agencies. United Way is proud to partner with a number of local charitable
organizations which provide health, education, and youth services. Through
your financial support, these dedicated agencies offer a variety of programs that
have a direct impact on the lives of our fellow citizens. Economic challenges
continue, and it seems the needs always grow faster than our resources. But
our area continues to be very generous, with a true compassion for our neighbors. Your continued
generosity to these agencies directly effects how well our area’s needs will be met.
In addition to the fund raising campaign, throughout the year United Way of Randolph County
provides technical assistance to these partner agencies. Volunteers on the Community Investment
Council devote many hours to make sure your donations are used effectively. It is important to note
that the local United Way office continues to be diligent in managing administrative and fund raising
expenses. We understand the responsibility for proper stewardship of the monies entrusted to us.
This commitment encourages maximum support to those programs that improve the lives of
thousands of citizens in our local community. Thank you!
Will Massie
United Way Board President
Thanks to the hard work of the 2013 Uwharrie Society Committee, the
Uwharrie Socieity’s contributions once again provided over one-third of this
year’s United Way campaign!
In addition to the $396,000 you helped raise, you added 19 new or
re-activated Uwharrie Society members…This is FANTASTIC!
We were privileged to have been associated with this year’s
committee and we cannot thank you all or the United Way office staff enough
for your diligent work. We are grateful for your willingness to reach out and
ask for contributions in a very difficult economic climate.
You can take pride in knowing your efforts will give a helping hand to many deserving
organizations and thousands of good Randolph County people.
Sincerely,
Susan and Charles Swiers

ALEXIS DE
TOCQUEVILLE
SOCIETY
Together, We’re Getting Things Done When Alexis de Tocqueville visited America in the early 1800s to study our
young democracy, he was struck by the “unparalleled spirit of volunteerism and
community” he found here. Immediately, he recognized it as one of the keys to
our democracy’s success and immortalized it in his book, Democracy in America.
Three centuries later, it is that same unparalleled American Spirit that The Alexis
de Tocqueville Society honors today. Established in 1972 by United Way of
America, the Society recognizes the extraordinary generosity of individuals or family foundations nationwide that give $10,000 or more annually to United Way campaigns. It represents the highest level of giving for United Ways across the nation.
The Uwharrie Chapter of The Alexis de Tocqueville Society was chartered in 1998
and currently has eight members. These generous donors join a national registry of philanthropic leaders who are changing the face of their communities through United Way.

A Catalyst for Change
EDUCATION
McCrary Elementary School is a high-poverty school that has
historically been one of the lowest performing schools in the county.
Once the Pre-K program began, student performance greatly
improved, and the number of children performing at or above
grade level increased significantly.
Nearly 50 % of the entering kindergarten class participated in the program, which is provided by
The Partnership for Children. Last year, first grade reading scores reached a new high, and McCrary’s
third grade reading scores were the highest in the district.
INCOME
Cally is a recovering addict who needed a halfway house to help her
maintain the structure she had learned and to have a support system.
Alpha House welcomed her warmly and helped her adjust to her new
life. The staff at Alpha House helped Cally find employment, manage
her finances and develop financial independence, and learn
responsibility and self-sufficiency.
Today, Cally is clean and sober and lives at home with her husband and children. She is employed,
and attends AA and NA meetings regularly. Her family is more financially stable, and she and her
husband are working hard to build a good life for their children.
HEALTH
Roger was diabetic and uninsured. He could not afford his A1C tests, so
his doctor had no accurate numbers on which to base Roger’s treatment.
Through a United Way grant, Randolph Family Health Care at MERCE
provided free Hemoglobin A1C tests to Roger and other uninsured
diabetics in Randolph County. The results of these tests enabled Roger’s doctor to prescribe the
right medication levels and keep his diabetes under control.
Because everyone had the opportunity to take the tests, most of the clinic’s diabetic patients now
have their diabetes under control.
