Subject: united way 2001 - building houston ' s future
building houston ? s future , enron ? s 2001 united way campaign , officially kicks off today and runs through august 17 . last year your support helped enron raise $ 2 . 8 million , which was 21 percent more than our original goal .
this year , we hope to reach our employee goal of $ 2 . 9 million . enron will match every employee ? s contribution dollar - for - dollar . we ask that employees who gave last year consider increasing their pledge this year , and that those who did not give , consider making a modest donation .
the decision to focus this year ? s campaign on building houston ? s future came directly from our employees , who rallied to help houston recover from the flood damage caused by tropical storm allison . enron employees have expressed a strong desire to continue assisting those in need until our city fully recovers . we will also be focusing on our united way scholars program , an innovative program created this year by enron and the united way . the scholars program builds houston ? s future business leaders by targeting talented students who may be overlooked by other scholarship programs .
