PWC has received the 2021 Spirit of North Carolina Award for Investment in Long-term Sustainable Impact from the United Way of North Carolina.   

United Way of North Carolina’s annual Spirit of North Carolina award celebrates organizations for their campaign excellence achieved through impactful events, engaged leadership, and volunteer engagement.  Organizations championing DEI values and post-pandemic rebuilding efforts are also celebrated.  On March 1st, United Way of North Carolina recognized 75 winners representing 22 local United Ways across the state.  The United Way of Cumberland County nominated PWC for leading the way in meeting community needs through their fundraising, volunteer, and advocacy efforts. 

“The Spirit of North Carolina Award gives United Way of Cumberland County an opportunity to acknowledge organizations who positively impact our neighborhoods” said Amy Navejas, J.D., UWCC Executive Director/CEO. “We applaud Fayetteville PWC for being difference-makers in our community and were excited to honor them on March 1st.”

Fayetteville PWC was not only recognized for raising over $150,000 through their workplace campaign but for their continuous support to the community.  They have been involved in neighborhood cleanups, fan donations for local senior citizens, 3500 pounds of food donations to a local food bank, etc.  Every year they go above and beyond to help those in our community and the award represents the 16th time PWC has been honored by the United Way of North Carolina.  

“2021 was a year of continued challenges, requiring flexibility and creativity when planning fundraising campaigns” said Navejas.  “Our heartfelt congratulations to all 2021 Spirit of North Carolina winners for their incredible accomplishments and dedication to United Way.”
