Stebbins Family and PROCON Receive Granite United Way 2017 Live United Award
May 10, 2018
Manchester, NH – On May 9, 2018 PROCON Owners Mark and Sally Stebbins were honored with the Live United Award at the Currier Museum in Manchester for their impact on the 2016/2017 Granite United Way Campaign. The Stebbins Family “Get on the Bus” Challenge Match brought in twenty-five new corporate donors. The PROCON workplace campaign raised an additional $68,000 that was matched by PROCON doubling the impact.
The Stebbins “Get on the Bus” Challenge Match involved each new corporate donor hosting a workplace campaign or pledging a corporate gift. In turn, the Stebbins Family committed $50,000 to match new corporate gifts and all of the qualified business donors enjoyed a pair of complimentary tickets, lunch and a bus ride to a New England Patriots game with Mark and Sally.
Patrick Tufts, MSW, President and CEO of Granite United Way commented, “This Match has helped us tackle one of our greatest challenges – new business growth and retention – in a fun and engaging way. It has inspired hundreds of new employees, as well as business owners, around our state to see themselves as part of the solution to bring lasting change to our community.”
Tufts pointed out “Including the generous Stebbins Family Challenge Match of $25,000 per year, the final investment will be well over $330,000 in new dollars raised in two years. We are truly grateful for Mark and Sally’s creativity, support, and generosity.”
The Stebbins are longtime Granite United Way contributors, Pacesetters and Alexis de Tocqueville Society members. The family has supported the charity through personal contributions, corporate fundraisers and challenge matches for over 60 years.
