Pacesetter Campaign
Sign Up and Become a Pacesetter!Lead the Way to Victory

Each year, a select group of high performance businesses take on the challenge to "jump start" the annual campaign by becoming a Pacesetter. These organizations set the standard for leadership and community support by locking in their increased campaign donations during the summer months. The success and excitement generated by the activities of our 2008 Pacesetters will help to inspire other organizations to follow their lead when running their own campaigns.

We invite you to LIVE UNITED by becoming a 2008 Pacesetter. Please register your organization and join us for the official Pacesetter Kickoff on June 13, 2008!
