Michael & Mollie Gannon spoke at United Way's Sinclair Society Event on September 17th, 2013.  Michael is Group President, Fixed Asset Division, CRST International. Mollie is a community volunteer.  

Thomas M'Elderry Sinclair was born in Belfast, Ireland in 1842.  Immigrating to the United States in 1862, he began the Sinclair Packing Plant in 1871.  His company flourished and Mr. Sinclair felt morally obligated to be a generous corporate citizen.  Because of Mr. Sinclair's belief in and commitment to our community, United Way of East Central Iowa has named its philanthropic leadership society in his honor

Generous donors who are expanding their philanthropy with gifts ranging from $1,250 to $9,999, explore new avenues for community engagement and recognition. Members have a deep understanding and commitment to the work United Way does in our communities.  In 2012, members of the T.M. Sinclair Society contributed $1.85 million.
