"United Way

honored Pathway Communities with this award

because of the company's commitment to the

community," said Andrea Payne, United Way

associate area director. "The combination of

Pathway's leadership, financial support and

volunteer spirit all contributed to being named

`A Company That Cares.'"

Since 1987, Pathway

Communities has raised more than $100,000 in

funds for United Way and is also one of the

highest contributors per employee in Fayette

County. Pathway was also one of the first

companies in Fayette County to match their

employee's contributions.

"We appreciate

all of the hard work and generous contributions

Pathway Communities has made to United Way over

the past 13 years," concludes Payne.

"But the real value of Pathway to the

community exceeds any dollar amount.."
