The United Way Board of Directors applauds Cathy and Marcus Larose of Coldwell Banker Advantage Real Estate who have agreed to serve as the 2019 campaign chairs. “The board is pleased that the Larose’s accepted the challenge and is looking forward to working with this high energy couple in our mission to support the Moore County community,” said Chairman of the Board, Ryan Ciccone. The Larose’s said in a statement that, “Marcus and I along with the generous agents and staff at Coldwell Banker Advantage could not be more honored to support the United Way and this year’s annual fundraising events! Marcus and I have been longtime supporters of the United Way and the 17 agencies that benefit from your kind contributions. We have been able to witness the enormous impact that grants from the United Way have had. United Way is so instrumental in supporting agencies throughout Moore County. Anytime we get the opportunity to be a part of the United Way it is an exciting thing for us! We look forward to working with the United Way and hope that you all reach deep and donate so that together we can make the best possible impact on the well-being of our community.”

The 2019 campaign kicked off with an exciting and fun adult tricycle race in an effort to bring awareness to the campaign.
