Cochran-Bleckley United Givers Fund


Have A Heart

The Cochran-Bleckley United Givers Fund, Inc. is a local non-profit charity dedicated to improving the health and welfare of Bleckley County residents. We hold an annual fund-raising campaign (September through November) and distribute the funds that we raise to local charitable agencies twice a year (in January and July). Donations to United Givers stay in Bleckley County helping our children to reach their potential and to become productive citizens, providing support for citizens in need, supporting our senior citizens, and helping to enrich our lives and broaden our horizons.

The Cochran-Bleckley United Givers Fund is governed by a board comprised of community leaders from Bleckley County: Suzi Gough (Chairman), Donna Smith (Vice Chairman), Matt Allred, Nan Anderson, Kathy Baldwin, Eric Bisher, Roger Bryant, Lisa Chastain, Brandy Perry, Arlene Pittman, Rebecca Nees, and Regina Smith.

The 2007 fund raising goal is $20,000.00.
