Business Blitz Challenge Will Double Your Donation This June
United Way’s Community Challenger Carter Foreman Matches Dollar-for-Dollar

Spring Hill, FL – (May 31, 2022) – United Way of Hernando County’s annual Business Blitz Challenge helps transform local donations into quality referrals for businesses. Throughout the month of June, United Way’s 2022 “Community Challenger” Carter Foreman Attorneys at Law has pledged to match dollar-for-dollar donations to United Way from any business. In a time where financial resources and collective solutions are so desperately necessary, this Challenge actively encourages local businesses and corporations to invest back into their community to help the United Way address the unmet needs and crisis prevention services so many residents are unfortunately faced with. This rapidly changing environment calls for creative, brand-aligned partnerships to generate positive change.

United Way’s Business Blitz Challenge presents a unique approach to easily doubling your impact by matching your donation. With partners at Carter Foreman Attorneys at Law providing services such as estate planning, personal injury, criminal defense, family law, real estate law, and business & commercial law, they know first-hand the importance of accountability. United Way assures each dollar donated is invested back into quality programs and resources identified as a priority through health, education, financial stability, and basic needs/crisis prevention services throughout Hernando County.

A recent marketing study discovered that over 70% of consumers want to know how the brands they support are addressing community and social issues. Did you know that 91% of consumers are even likely to switch to a brand that supports a good cause? Effective cause-brand marketing allows brands to connect with their target audience through shared values by supporting a worthy initiative or organization.

All businesses who “Accept the Challenge” in the month of June, will not only have their donation (of any size) matched, the cause-brand marketing approach United Way will provide will translate into referrals as a “Preferred Partner”.
