United Way Receives 2007/08 Corporate Donation from ConocoPhillips

Right to left are: ConocoPhillips Ponca City Site Lead Executive and Refinery Manager-Ron Armstrong, Audrey Allen, Helene Schwartz and Jana Krottinger, 2008-2009 ConocoPhillips campaign chair and United Way board member. 

Under the backdrop of the Ponca City Refinery, Helene Schwartz, United Way executive director takes the generous hand of 2007-08 ConocoPhillips campaign chair and United Way board member Audrey Allen after receiving the ConocoPhillips corporate check for the 2007-2008 campaign. 

Through the hard work and creativity of the ConocoPhillips campaign cabinet, employees kept the fun in fundraising, while helping make Ponca City a better place to live.  At least 100 volunteers throughout the complex worked on the United Way Centennial parade, special events, and intranet auction to meet and exceed their site-wide fundraising goal. 

“ConocoPhillips corporate donation added to the generosity of its employees and retirees during the 2007-2008 United Way campaign brings the total raised to over $390,000 for the community, says Schwartz.  ConocoPhillips comprises 50.5% of the total United Way funds raised for 2008.  “Without the ‘pulling together’ of ConocoPhillips employees, retirees and corporate, many of our agencies would close their doors.  They are a vital link to helping meet the needs in our community and to our campaign success”.
