#WhyWednesday: Brad Currey

December 20, 2017

Share Your Why

This Share Your Why story was originally published in December 2017. Brad Currey — longtime volunteer, civic leader, businessman and champion for child well-being — passed away in January 2022. His legacy continues to inspire us and change lives in Greater Atlanta. 

A lot has changed since Brad Currey began giving to United Way. He started as a Campaign Coordinator, loaned to us from Trust Company of Georgia, in 1954 — back when United Way of Greater Atlanta was called Community Chest, and when his $2.00 monthly donation was a significant cut of his paycheck. In the decades since, Brad has deepened his commitment to our community. Hear him share why he lives united.

Everyone has a story — you don’t have to be giving since 1954 to tell us your why! We want to know what drives you to give, advocate, and volunteer for Greater Atlanta.

It's Give United Day!

Today your donation goes further with a dollar-for-dollar match up to $100,000 from generous friends including KMPG and PwC.
