Citi's Taylor Leads United Way of Metro Dallas in $60 Million Record
 
Campaign Result is Largest in 84-Year History; Citi DFW Employees Raise Over $2 Million

Dallas, TX – Citi and United Way of Metropolitan Dallas (UWMD) announced a $60 million record – the largest total ever raised in its 84-year history yesterday at its Heroes of Hope celebration at the Adolphus Hotel.
 
"The campaign goal announced in September was $56.6 million," said Debbie Taylor, UWMD Campaign Chairman and Regional Director of Southwest Community Relations at Citi. "However, due to the hard work of our campaign cabinet, and a gift from the John and Susan Wilder Foundation, matched by Energy Future Holdings Corporation, we have been able to surpass our goal beyond our wildest expectations."
 
Taylor said she was also extremely impressed with Citi's DFW employees, who raised more than $2 million. Citi had the largest campaign of all the financial institutions in Dallas.
 
"Individually, our employees gave more this year to help those in need," said Taylor. "The DFW Citi employees deserve a huge thank you for their efforts and for making a meaningful difference in the communities where we live and work."
 
The funds will in part be used for a United Way Katrina camp and an early childhood education program called Born Learning, which teaches parents skills to help children prepare for Kindergarten.
 
"When you align rock solid corporate supporters and phenomenal community leaders– it's clear United Way has the foundation of support needed to improve the education, income and health for thousands of North Texans," said Gary Godsey, President/CEO UWMD.
 
UWMD will distribute the funds to 95 agencies in Dallas, Collin, Rockwall and southern Denton counties.
