United Way’s Tocqueville Society Fall Gathering Highlights Philanthropy and Community Impact
On a beautiful fall evening, over 125 Tocqueville donors gathered for United Way of the Greater Lehigh Valley’s Fall Tocqueville event at Barn Swallow Farm, a rustic venue surrounded by cornfields and adorned with pumpkins and string lights.
During the event, United Way Board Chair Joe Savage shared his vision for the future of the organization, emphasizing the trust and pride that donors and volunteers feel when giving through United Way. Chris Martin, President of Martin Guitar and this year’s Campaign Chair, announced a generous $500,000 match from C.F. Martin & Company and the Martin Guitar Foundation. The match applies to any current Tocqueville Society member who increases their donation by $1,000 or more specifically to support United Way of the Greater Lehigh Valley’s initiatives, such as Community Schools, Education and Mental Health. This match is in addition to any available workplace matching funds. Chris added a special touch by raffling off a “Life is Good” ukulele during his remarks, while also announcing that Martin Guitar has generously donated four guitars this year, including two specifically for Tocqueville Society.
The event, sponsored by Highmark Blue Shield, provided a perfect blend of community, philanthropy and festive fall vibes.
