The Fayetteville Public Works Commission was one of 23 award recipients of the the Spirit of North Carolina Awards for Campaign Excellence awarded Feb 10 in during the United Way of NC's Annual Meeting in Pinehurst. The awards are sponsored annually by the United Way of North Carolina to provide statewide recognition for outstanding commitment and support to communities through local United Way involvement.

The Spirit Awards are designed to recognize companies and their employees that demonstrate campaign excellence and community commitment. The Committee judged more than 75 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, incentive programs, and campaign rallies just to name a few.

PWC received its second consecutive Spirit of NC award. In 2004, PWC employees pledged a record $55,570, a 9% increase over last year's total. PWC's per capita giving increased from $97.62 to $104.85 while the average gift increased from $116 to $125.72. Over 83% of PWC's 500+ employees contributed to the United Way and the number of PWC employees giving at the Marquis level increased to five.

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. In September, more than 40 PWC employees participated in the United Way's Day of Caring.
