PWC Employees accepted the Spirit of NC Award on behalf of their co-workers.

For the sixth straight year, PWC has received the Spirit of North Carolina Award from the United Way of North Carolina. PWC was one of 38 award winners at the February United Way of NC's Annual Meeting. The awards are sponsored annually to provide statewide recognition for outstanding commitment and support to communities through local United Way involvement.

In 2008, PWC employees pledged a record $83,500, a 14.4% increase over last year's total. Over 93% of PWC's 550 employees contributed to the United Way and the number of PWC employees giving at the Marquis level increased to 23.

The Spirit Awards are designed to recognize companies and their employees that demonstrate campaign excellence and community commitment. The Committee judged more than 88 outstanding submissions from top companies, organizations, governmental entities, healthcare and educational institutions, as well as businesses - large and small.

Organizations and companies were judged on a variety of criteria (Standards of Excellence) including leadership giving, volunteerism, employee participation and giving levels, year-round education, corporate support, and incentive programs. In addition to contributions made during the campaign, eight PWC employees serve in volunteer roles on the United Way Board, volunteer committees and as Loaned Executives throughout the year. Annually, more than 50 PWC employees participated in the United Way's Day of Caring.

PWC has also been recognized by the United Way of Cumberland County as its 2008 Spirit of Community recipient and was given the Marquis Award for its increase in Leadership Giving.
