Chris Stebnitz is not only a third generation owner of Stebnitz Builders, but he's also the third generation in his family to support the United Way of Walworth County. He's proud to continue the family legacy of serving the United Way, dating back over 50 years with his mother, Barb Stebnitz, and his grandmother, Eleanor Packard.
He was recently recognized by the Board for serving as Chairperson for the 2016-17 campaign. Chris started working with the United Way as a board member of the Delavan-Darien United Way in 2005 and was involved in the movement to combine the DDUW and the Geneva Lakes United Way to form the county United Way as it operates today. Along with working on several committees through the last 12 years, Chris also served as Chairperson for the 2010-11 campaign.
Stebnitz Builders has also had an active United Way employee campaign since the 1990's. An employee campaign allows employees the opportunity to have a portion of their payroll check go directly to the United Way. As an added bonus at Stebnitz Builders, the company agrees to match that donation, adding even more impact to the individual contributions.
Chris Stebnitz was recognized by the United Way of Walworth County's Board of Directors on July 31, 2017 for his service.
Sixteen non-profit agencies from Walworth County gathered on Monday, July 31 to discuss how they're making a difference in the lives of so many residents of Walworth County. Agencies like SMILES, Walworth County Housing Authority, East Troy Family & Community Resource Center, Volunteer Connection, Open Arms Free Clinic, Safe Families for Children, VIP Services, Inc., Twin Oaks Homeless Shelter and Walworth County Alliance for Children/Treehouse were in attendance along with members from the United Way of Walworth County's Board of Directors.
"We're not just impacting those agencies and the people they serve, but rather supporting a safety net of agencies that work together to do some really amazing things." Chris Stebnitz
