THE WOODLANDS, TX – (Monday, April 06, 2009) – Alex Sutton (second from the right) and Tim Welbes (left), co-presidents of The Woodlands Development Company (TWDC) along with Debra Staley (right), director of public affairs for TWDC, recently presented a $20,000 corporate contribution to the Montgomery County United Way. Accepting the donation on behalf of the United Way is Julie Martineau (second from the left), president of the non-profit organization.
TWDC was chosen as a “Pacesetter Company” for the 2009 United Way campaign, according to Staley. A pacesetter company is defined by United Way as a leading employer that sets a positive and successful example for other businesses in Montgomery County to follow with their respective campaigns.
“Through its award-winning Good Neighbors Community Partnership Program, The Woodlands Development Company was pleased to assist the Montgomery County United Way,” Staley said. “The United Way reaches more than one in three residents and supports over 60 programs throughout the county. The Woodlands Development Company encourages other companies, organizations and individuals to contribute their time, talents and money to this worthwhile cause.”
Employees from The Woodlands Development Company (TWDC) and The Club at Carlton Woods pledged an additional $36,540 to the Montgomery County United Way. Along with financial donations, TWDC staff members volunteer numerous hours with United Way agencies including the Meals on Wheels program from The Friendship Center, a non-profit organization serving seniors in Montgomery County.
The Woodlands is a 28,000-acre master-planned community located 27 miles north of downtown Houston. It is a project of The Woodlands Development Company, a limited partnership of Morgan Stanley and General Growth Properties, Inc.
