“Frito-Lay deeply values our partnership with United Way and our shared commitment to the Southern Dallas Thrives initiative. It is awesome to be able to join to make this historic investment in work that is changing lives across North Texas.”
Steven Williams, EVP and Vice Chairman, Global Chief Commercial Officer, PepsiCo
“We believe that strong communities build strong companies, and strong companies build strong communities — a belief that supports our ambition to be a good neighbor and a company we are personally proud to work for. United Way plays a huge role in helping us achieve that ambition.”
Haviv Ilan, President and CEO, Texas Instruments,
“The reason we were motivated to make this lead investment is that United Way’s 100th anniversary isn’t a finish line but rather it is the halfway point toward an ambitious set of community goals. The Aspire United 2030 goals focus on education, income and health programs that have the potential to transform our community, and Trinity Industries is invested in making those goals a reality.”
Jean Savage, President & CEO, Trinity Industries
“An investment in a better North Texas, where everyone has the access and opportunity to thrive, is just good business. And as Comerica celebrates its 175th anniversary, we recognize United Way’s Centennial as a significant milestone of service to North Texas.”
