United Is The Way
This year’s campaign theme, United Is The Way, served as a reminder that when our community comes together, we can create meaningful and lasting change for local families and individuals across East Texas.
Together, We Raised $1,124,082.49
Greater Longview United Way is proud to announce that our 2025–2026 Campaign raised an incredible $1,124,082.49 to support programs and services that strengthen our community.
This achievement would not have been possible without the generosity, leadership, and dedication of our donors, volunteers, workplace partners, campaign coordinators, and community advocates. Every dollar raised helps mobilize resources and create lasting impact across our focus areas of education, financial stability, health, and basic needs.
Throughout this campaign season, businesses, organizations, schools, and individuals across East Texas stepped up to make a difference. From employee giving campaigns to volunteer efforts and community partnerships, this year’s campaign reflected the power of what we can accomplish when we come together.
Celebrating Our Campaign Leadership
We extend our sincere gratitude to our 2025–2026 Campaign Chair, Erika Rader, for her outstanding leadership, passion, and commitment throughout this year’s campaign. Her dedication helped inspire our community to give, advocate, and volunteer in meaningful ways.
We are also excited to welcome Shawn Hara as the incoming Campaign Chair for the next campaign season.
