United Way Lower Eastern Shore Honors Legacy Circle Members

SALISBURY, MD — United Way of the Lower Eastern Shore (UWLES) proudly celebrated the unveiling of its new 1944 Legacy Circle commemorative wall during a special event held recently at the organization's office in Salisbury.
Members of the 1944 Legacy Circle and community supporters enjoyed an evening of cocktails, hors d’oeuvres, and appreciation. The new installation was a vision led by longtime UWLES volunteer, former board member, and Legacy Circle member Cathie Thomas. The design was by Olivia Momme and Plak That produced the display.

“This wall is not just a tribute to those who have included United Way in their planned giving. It’s a testament to the community our Legacy Circle members have invested in,” said Pam Gregory, President/CEO of UWLES. “Their support ensures that future generations will continue to benefit from strong, vibrant programs and resources for years to come.”

The Legacy Wall honors the generosity and enduring commitment of donors who have shared they have included United Way in their planned giving or have already supported through their estate. UWLES thanks all Legacy Circle members for their thoughtful generosity and faith in United Way’s future work across the Lower Shore. Community members from young professionals to seniors who are interested in learning more about easy and affordable opportunities to support United Way’s future impact may contact Pam Gregory at pam@uwles.org or go to www.uwles.org/PlannedGiving.
