As adults shift from careers to retirement, many find themselves with a lifetime’s worth of knowledge and experience along with increased time and resources. This enables them to contribute their wisdom and skills to organizations and causes they are passionate about. At United Way of Asheville and Buncombe County (UWABC), we categorize all donors who are retired into an “affinity group” called Retire United.
As part of Retire United, retiree donors receive focused communications that may be of special interest. These communications include information about UWABC programs and activities, invitations to UWABC and affinity group events, and opportunities for volunteer experiences especially linked to UWABC programs.
Wherever individuals are on their retirement journey, there are opportunities to become as informed about and as active in UWABC and the Retire United affinity group as their interests and desires lead them. Active participation in Retire United is one way retirees find to have new kinds of experiences, build new relationships, and give back to their community.
If you are a retiree, or of retirement age, and donate annually to UWABC’s Live United Fund, you already are a part of Retire United. We invite you to explore all that this affiliation has to offer. If you are not yet a UWABC donor, we invite you to donate any amount to the Live United Fund and enjoy the benefits of the Retire United affinity group.
GET INVOLVED
Getting involved in Retire United is a simple process of (a) making an annual donation of any amount to UWABC’s Live United Fund and (b) making decisions about the level of engagement you desire.
- To DONATE to the UWABC Live United Fund, make a gift online or use any of the other donation and billing options described HERE.
- To ENGAGE in Retire United activities, read UWABC communications and choose which volunteer experiences, learning opportunities, and UWABC events interest you.
By actively participating in Retire United and UWABC events and experiences, you will have opportunities to continue to engage in your community, contribute your expertise and talents in support of UWABC programs, and interact with other retirees who contribute their time and strengths toward building a strong and inclusive community.
To learn more about Retire United and how you can get involved, contact Erika Goffin, 828-239-9197, or Steve Shoaf, Retire United Chair, 828-989-8490.
