Unity in the Community

Unity in the Community

For over a decade, Universal 1 (U1) has proudly partnered with Versiti to support local school drives as part of the Unity in the Community Campaign. Giving back to the community has always been part of who we are and our core values. We’re happy to kick off another year with the annual Kettering Unity Blood Drive on July 11th at Fairmont High school. This event helps give a needed boost to the local blood supply, which is especially important following the July 4th holiday.

This event became part of the Unity in the Community initiative soon after Versiti began partnering with U1. The program stands strong today and continues to strengthen local schools and communities. Since 2014, Unity Blood Drives have totaled 6,263 donors, 4,946 donations, and 3,450 first time donors.

Some of our most Impactful ways of giving back are through health-focused events and we are thrilled to continue these events with the upcoming blood drive. This event not only helps local hospitals and people in need, but it helps bring the community together in a meaningful way. With the involvement of local schools such as Fairmont High School, we can bring students, staff, and families together for the well-being of our community.

The Unity in the Community campaign helps U1 create opportunities that educate and empower others. This can be through volunteering, or even through school partnerships. In the past 10 years, U1 has sponsored over $34,000 in awards to the ten participating schools that donate to a charity organization of their choice.

Current participating schools:

Archbishop Alter High School

Carroll High School

Chaminade Julienne High School

Fairborn High School

Fairmont High School

Miamisburg High School

Stebbins High School

Tri-County North High School

Twin Valley High School

West Carrollton High School
