IN RE: BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS - DECLARATION OF AUGUST 19, 2017 AS UNITED WAY
FOR SOUTHEASTERN MICHIGAN CENTENNIAL DAY
To the Oakland County Board of Commissioners
Chairperson, Ladies, and Gentlemen:
WHEREAS in 1917, United Way for Southeastern Michigan, then known then as Detroit Community
Union, was established as the region's unifier—convening the power of public, private and nonprofit
partners to better serve the community; and
WHEREAS although the name has changed throughout the subsequent 100 years, the organization's
core mission to mobilize the caring power of Southeastern Michigan to improve communities and
individual lives in measurable and lasting ways has remained the same; and
WHEREAS United Way for Southeastern Michigan continues to engage and serve Oakland, Macomb and
Wayne counties every day, improving lives and empowering every family to succeed by uniting us around
education, economic prosperity and health — the pillars of a strong, equitable community; and
WHEREAS United Way for Southeastern Michigan advances the quality of life for residents and families
throughout the tri-county area by investing in programs that impact the lives of children and adults, such
as 2-1-1, which serves as a lifeline for hundreds of thousands of individuals each year; and through the
funding and support of partner agency services; and
WHEREAS United Way for Southeastern Michigan benefits the region through its unique ability to engage
local businesses and their employees, who give, volunteer, and advocate for the betterment of the
community; and
WHEREAS we respect and share United Way for Southeastern Michigan's guiding principles: to be just,
tenacious, collaborative, engaged, and accountable; and
WHEREAS the people of Oakland County recognize United Way for Southeastern Michigan as a valued
community asset with a proven history of living its values and inspiring others to serve.
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the Oakland County Board of Commissioners hereby
declares August 19, 2017 as United Way for Southeastern Michigan Centennial Day in Oakland County,
and we encourage all citizens to join us in recognizing this organization's 100 years of service to the
community.
Chairperson, I move the adoption of the foregoing resolution.
