Fulton, NY: The United Way of Greater Oswego County recognized its many leadership givers during a special reception in their honor at Under the Moon in Fulton. The event was attended by more than 60 Leadership Givers, those who pledge $500 or more annually.

?We truly appreciate our Leadership Givers,? said Melanie Trexler, executive director of the United Way. ?From our corporate sponsors to our small business owners and our individual leaders, their exceptional level of giving and their care and concern for our community is inspirational. The generosity of our Leadership Givers plays an important role in the success of our Annual Campaign as it set the pace and gets the campaign off to a strong start.?

Community Bank, N.A., one of United Way?s newest supporters, sponsored the event. Community Bank, N.A., operates more than 185 branch offices across Upstate and Central New York, including those in Fulton and Oswego, as well as throughout Northeastern Pennsylvania. ?We are happy to have been able to partner with United Way of Greater Oswego County on this event and are proud to count ourselves among the many area businesses and organizations that lend their support to such a worthy cause as United Way,? said Mark Tryniski, President and CEO Community Bank, N.A.
