This fall, as United Way of the Wabash Valley launched their annual Resource Drive, they once again introduced an exciting incentive to inspire generosity and support their mission of creating pathways to prosperity for families and communities. Continuing a popular tradition from years prior, one lucky donor was awarded $10,000 in cash. This impactful incentive was made possible through the longstanding partnership and generous sponsorship of Terre Haute Chevrolet.

Abby Desboro, Executive Director of United Way of the Wabash Valley, shared, “For over a decade, Terre Haute Chevrolet has been a steadfast partner in driving change across our community. Their generosity not only inspires our donors to give but also creates opportunities to uplift struggling families in the Wabash Valley. While awarding $10,000 to a generous donor is exciting, the real impact lies in the countless lives improved by their support through United Way.”

After two finalists—Allison Albright from First Financial Bank and Michael Newkirk from Novelis—gathered at Terre Haute Chevrolet to try their luck at selecting the correct box containing the prize money, Allison Albright from First Financial Bank emerged as the winner of the $10,000 cash prize.

Donors earned chances to win the $10,000 cash based on their donor support. New donors earned 1 entry for a donation under $25 and 2 entries for every $25 donation. Returning donors earned 1 entry for matching their last year’s gift and 2 entries for every $25 increase over last year’s gift. All donors received 20 additional entries for donations over $500. This year, there were over 10,000 entries from nearly 1,000 donors, including over 180 new donors to United Way.

Lynn Steward, General Manager of Terre Haute Chevrolet, shared, “At Terre Haute Chevrolet, giving back to our community is at the heart of who we are. This unique incentive allows us to support those who are making a difference by donating to United Way. Our partnership reflects the core of our culture—both personally and professionally—centered on helping others in the Wabash Valley. We’re proud to give back and make a meaningful impact in this way.”

Congratulations to Allison Albright and a heartfelt thank you to all the donors who participated and made a difference in the Wabash Valley!
