Premiere Credit "Sets the Pace" for United Way in 2011

INDIANAPOLIS, Sept. 30, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Premiere Credit of North America, LLC (Premiere Credit) earned the United Way Pacesetter Award through the generosity of its employees who have pledged to donate more than $31,000 in the company's first ever United Way fundraising campaign.

Premiere Credit was recognized and presented with the Pacesetter Traveling Trophy during the "Colts Go Blue for United Way" community kickoff ceremony held in downtown Indianapolis on Friday, September 09.  At the event, United Way of Central Indiana (UWCI) volunteer leaders announced a goal to raise nearly $1 million more than last year's annual campaign ($38.3 million) or $39.2 million to address the current needs in the six-county region.

"The response from our employees to this campaign is inspiring," said Rob Meck, President and Chief Executive Officer. "It is an honor to work side-by-side with a team that responds to the needs of others in such a meaningful way."
