United Way of Hancock County names Pedersen to Head Annual Campaign’s Corporate Division

Kirk Energy has announced that its Managing Member, Christian H. Pedersen, has been asked to serve as the Corporate Division Chair for the United Way of Hancock County’s 2011 Annual Campaign.  Based in Findlay, the UWOHC has as its mission to measurably improve people’s lives in Hancock County by targeting education, health and income challenges within the community.  The organization provides financial support to over twenty partner agencies and last year raised a record-breaking 2.6 million in its annual campaign.
Pedersen, who already serves on the United Way’s Board of Trustees, said he hopes to build upon the prior year’s success under the Corporate Division.  “While our economy shows signs of improvement, there are still many people in Hancock County who are suffering significant economic hardship.”  Pedersen added, “I look forward to reaching out to the companies in this great community to see whether we all can’t dig a little deeper to tackle important issues like hunger and homelessness.”
