Word Around Cole Society

One of Southern Company’s values include total commitment to the success of our communities. This is important in who we are as a company. I also recall my first United Way Campaign in 2001, and through each subsequent year the personal stories of those in the community that have benefited from the United Way motivates me to continuing my support. I believe one of the reasons for the success of metro-Atlanta is due to the United Way.
James D. Anderson
Director of Accounting, Gas Marketing Services, Southern Company Gas
Contributing at the Cole level enables me to give back to the community while donating to particular areas of focus, making the biggest impact possible... I am very passionate about education, especially for lower income families. It is important that children receive a good education as a foundation so that they have a chance to achieve their goals and make a better life for themselves.
Christina Gerrish
Area rental Manager, Enterprise Holdings
I have... witnessed the incredible impact the United Way makes with each donation and that has made me keep giving and increase my gift when possible.
Chris Simser
Vice President/Project Manager, Bank of America
