(September 15, 2008) Because of generous contributions and the participation of more than 134 business associates, employees and friends, the 2008 County Materials Charity Golf Outing will help United Way-funded programs improve the lives of many people.

County Materials presented a check for $16,000 to United Way representatives following the company’s second charity event, held at the Wausau Country Club on September 6th.

County Materials distributed funds to local United Way chapters in communities where they have locations. In addition, the Wausau-based Judd S. Alexander Foundation committed to matching any donation, dollar-for-dollar, directed to the United Way-Marathon County chapter.

United Way chapters support programs that help people meet their basic needs and learn to become self-sufficient. In addition, the United Way is focused on community issues including early childhood learning, youth development, helping people in crisis and promoting health and wellness.
