A partnership between the United Way of the Upper Ohio Valley and Bordas & Bordas that started four years ago has come to raise $199,192.72 in total. In 2021, Bordas and Bordas agreed to match every dollar donated to the United Way in the month of March up to $15,000 for the United Way’s event, “Match Madness.” Every year since then, the amount has increased, and this year the partnership brought in over $90,000.
“We had a significant number of new donors through Match Madness this year,” said Staci Stephen, Executive Director of United Way of the Upper Ohio Valley. “This year was a huge success that allows us to further our reach in the community, but none of this would be possible without the Ohio Valley community and Bordas and Bordas. We can’t thank Jamie Bordas and his entire team enough!”
The United Way’s campaign is themed “Raised Here. Stays Here.” Because ALL donations to the United Way stay local. The United Way funds over 30 programs that support community members in Hancock, Brooke, Ohio, Marshall, Wetzel, Tyler and Belmont Counites. Beyond that, the United Way is at the forefront of advocating for nonprofit organizations in the Ohio Valley, promoting giving and encouraging volunteerism.
“Bordas & Bordas is proud to partner with the United Way of the Upper Ohio Valley for the fourth annual Match Madness campaign,” managing partner of Bordas & Bordas, Jamie Bordas said. “Giving back to our community is very important and we look forward to matching the donations that allow us to help give back to community members in need.”
