UNITED WAY RECOGNITION

MIG knows its participation in the United Way campaign is critical. As Karen Kallerud, MIG’s 2008 Loaned Executive said, “Your involvement is essential for United Way to make an impact on issues like academic achievement, homelessness, and the independence of seniors in Dane County.”

MIG raised $113,480 for the 2008 campaign, and received the Community Impact Award leading all companies within the 5-25 employee category. It is MIG’s hope that its commitment to the UWDC will continue to create lasting solutions and improve lives by advancing our community’s Agenda for Change.

MIG knows how important it is to work together and invest in the community.  The company’s involvement is essential, and MIG recognizes that a gift of any amount will make a difference in the lives of others. MIG echoes the United Way motto in saying,  “When we are united, we build a better community.”
