LIVE UNITED™
Alexis de Tocqueville Society

When the French aristocrat Alexis de Tocqueville came to America in 1831 to study our democratic society, he was most impressed by the way he saw neighbor helping neighbor.

In his study, Democracy in America, he remarked, "When an American asks for the cooperation of his fellow citizens, it is seldom refused, and I have often seen it afforded spontaneously and with great good will."

The Alexis de Tocqueville Society of Iredell County includes in its membership United Way donors that contribute $10,000 or more to support the United Way's annual fund drive. These gifts have tremendous impact on community needs.

Our sincerest appreciation goes to these very generous donors and we honor this great spirit of volunteerism and charitable giving.

CAMPAIGN CENTRAL — BENEFACTORS CLUB
Making a Difference... Right Here, Right Now

The United Way of Iredell County Benefactors Club is a special group of citizens in our community who qualify for membership through their leadership giving to United Way. The club consists of community leaders providing generous personal financial support to many community agencies and thousands of local people through their United Way gifts.

Each year the United Way Board of Directors selects an individual to be honored by Benefactors Club level donors. This individual is chosen for his or her volunteer efforts in Iredell County. Benefactor Club honorees serve as leaders in service to our community as well as in the giving of their time to help others.

Membership in the Benefactors Club is organized into six areas of leadership giving.
