Weiler Abrasives Supports United Way
The generous employees of Weiler Abrasives Group (Cresco, PA) have raised more than $40,000 in their annual campaign benefiting the Pocono Mountains United Way. The company matched that effort with a $60,000 corporate contribution, bringing the total donation to $100,000. The money raised will support the organization’s Monroe County programming initiatives that address poverty alleviation, healthy food access, and critical housing needs for local families.
“Weiler was built on, and continues to thrive because of, our strong partnerships with our customers, coworkers and community. We call them the 3 C’s, and they are the foundation of our company values,” said Bill Dwyre, the managing director, Americas. “Our steady support of the United Way campaign is one of the ways we’ve had the privilege of living those values out in the community we call home.”
“We, like Pocono Mountains United Way, believe in making our community a better place,” said Cristina Matos, the sales and marketing analyst and committee chairperson. “That’s why we have continued our tradition of supporting them for the last 16 years.”
To help promote the campaign among her colleagues, Matos led a committee with representatives from several departments. The campaign was 75 days long, themed “75 Days of Giving,” and culminated on October 12 at the company family day fall festival, a celebration of their 75th anniversary. In September, the committee also hosted its fifth annual golf tournament at Skytop Lodge in Skytop, PA, another fundraiser for their United Way campaign.
