Those who did more and made today a little better.
Webster’s Dictionary describes Vanguard as “the forefront of an action or movement.” Members of The Vanguard Leadership Giving Program are individuals truly dedicated to shaping our corner of the world today and tomorrow. Vanguards are donors who contribute $1,000 or more to United Way each year.
We come from different backgrounds and do different things, but we come together as one for the community. Choose the United Way leadership giving group that’s right for you.
Vanguard Leadership Giving Society
The Vanguard Leadership Giving Society is chaired by Alia and Christian Shuck. Christian, an Advancement Officer at Rose Hulman-Institute of Technology, and Alia, the Executive Director of Marketing at Ivy Tech Community College in Terre Haute and Greencastle, are deeply involved in the community. Their desire is to grow the Vanguard Society into a group of fellow community-minded individuals.
“United Way is in a unique position, at a time in our community when it is most needed, to serve as an organizational hub for non-profits, private businesses, educators, civic leaders and volunteers to work together. If we all find ways to cooperate, and share knowledge and resources, we can pull on the rope in the same direction with a lot more strength. United Way can be the platform from which we all spring into action.” -Alia and Christian Shuck
