Allreds and Knapps Serve as Chairs to for United Way’s 2006 Campaign

In order to reach this year’s $1.5 million goal, two husband and wife teams have accepted the call of serving their community. Don and Pat Allred will serve as Campain Chairs and Warren and Fran Knapp will serve as Campaign Chairs for the Uwharrie Society Committee.

Don and Pat Allred own Duel Inc. Don Allred earned his Masters of divinity degree from Duke University and served as Rotary District Governor in 2004-5. He served as former Lay Leader for Central United Methodist Church from 1993-95 and still attends there with his wife. He served as the Chamber of Commerce President in 2000 and in the United States Air Force. I’d rather have a quote from Don and Pat. Mac Whatley, Board President, says, “We are fortunate to add this dedicated husband and wife team to our 2007 campaign. They are an asset to the community and will help us meet our goal.”

The Uwharrie Society, a program of United Way of Randolph County which recognizes outstanding Leadership Gifts of $1,000 has committed to raising $500,000 of the $1.5 million goal. Warren and Fran Knapp will serve as Campaign Chairs for the Uwharrie Society Committee. Warren, retired co-owner and cofounder of Asheboro Elastics, serves on the Board of United Way. He was a member of the Board of Trustees of Pfeiffer University for 14 years and is currently on the Mt. Shepherd Retreat Center Board. Fran is coordinator of the academically gifted program for the Asheboro City Schools. She has taught in the public schools of Virginia and North Carolina for 32 years and was active in athletic coaching at the YMCA for many years. The Knapps are members of First Methodist Church. “Every year The Uwharrie Society members send an encouraging message to our community that we really care and have a strong desire to provide a foundation for those who need our help,” say the Knapps. “It is our hope that in this 50th anniversary year of the United Way, we will send that message clearly with our goal of $500,000. We are confident that with your generosity our ambitious goal will be achieved.”
