Mei-Ling Fry awarded Outstanding Employee Campaign Manager by United Way of Santa Barbara County

96th Annual Awards Celebration
Mei-Ling Fry was awarded Outstanding Employee Campaign Manager at the 96th Annual Awards Celebration for the United Way of Santa Barbara County (UWSBC). The award is presented to an individual who leads a successful United Way fundraising campaign within their workplace.
Fry, who is the Assistant Vice President of Human Resources at AGIA Affinity, first became involved with the United Way in 2003 and has led a committee to develop fundraising campaigns and initiatives at AGIA for the last three years. Her and the committee’s efforts resulted in a total contribution of over $72,700 to UWSBC last year. Fry attributes these successes to the dedication and enthusiasm her committee has for the United Way’s mission and the giving spirit of AGIA’s culture. “The United Way has always been close to AGIA’s heart and we want to continue promoting what we’re passionate about,” Fry says. “We value the importance of giving back to our community and that’s what we love most about working with the United Way.”
Giving back to the community at large has always been a value of AGIA’s culture. Julie Capritto, Chief Operating Officer at AGIA, explains “At AGIA, we strive to contribute to the well-being of our employees, our community, and our clients. It’s important for us to make a difference in the lives of others and be a source for improving the quality of life. Mei-Ling embodies this vision through her selfless commitment and caring heart. We are delighted she has been recognized by the United Way of Santa Barbara County with this year’s award.”
Fry advises that the secret to a successful fundraising campaign is to “pick a theme, run with it, and make it fun for the employees.” Last year’s fundraising theme “Game On!”, inspired by old school video games like Pac Man and Nintendo classics, energized AGIA employees for a spirited week of gaming, raffles, and food trucks—all while raising funds for UWSBC.
“There are so many opportunities to give back and in different forms,” Fry concludes. “Whether it be your time or money, nothing is too small. Even if only one person is impacted, we’ve put a little more kindness in the world.”
Near and Dear Interview:
We’re pleased to shine a light on associates who actively volunteer in their community and the causes that are important to them.
Assistance League of Ventura County
This week’s Near and Dear interview is featuring Jen Youngs. Jen started at AGIA almost 16 years ago as the Director of Life Insurance Central. Jen is an integral member of our team currently serving as the Assistance Vice President of Life Insurance Central and New Business. In her role Jen is responsible for driving new and renewal revenue through strategic development, management, deployment and expansion while maintaining positive carrier and vendor relationships.
What Nonprofit or Cause are you involved in?
(JY): I’m involved with the Assistance League of Ventura County, a nonprofit volunteer organization dedicated to the enrichment of the lives of children in Ventura County and the betterment of their future.
Tell us how you first got connected/involved.
(JY): I got involved in 2016 through supporting the charity with donations and assisting with fundraising events. My neighbor is retired and is on the board for the Assistance League and she works at the Assistance League Bargain Box Thrift shop in Ventura. The Bargain Box is an upscale resale shop staffed and managed by volunteers and all the proceeds go back to the Assistance League. I collect donations from friends and family throughout the year to support the store. The other thing I am active in; is she puts together school backpacks with supplies for over 2000 kids each year. She gathers the supplies and I spend a few weeks putting together the backpacks. They also do a huge authors luncheon, the big event of the year that raises the most money, and I support them for the day including setup and clean up ensuring the event runs smoothly.
Why did you decide to get involved?
(JY): I wanted to contribute to my local community. The Assistance League is the largest resource to homeless/under privileged children in the county. These are all for children and mostly women who live out of their cars, live in hotels, who are escaping domestic violence – the children aren’t eating full breakfast, lunch, and dinners and there are more than 2000 of these children in Ventura. I donate to a lot of organizations like ASPCA, Domestic Violence Solutions, and United Way but this one I couple finance with my time investment.
What is your favorite part about being involved?
(JY): Knowing that their little worlds are better. Ensuring they get an education, have the supplies to do it, and have full stomachs!
What would you tell someone who is thinking about donating or participating with your cause?
(JY): Do it for the children, the need is immense! There are several ways – shop the Bargain Box retail in Ventura, donate at one of the fundraising events like the Authors Luncheon, or you can make a general donation on their website, http://assistanceleagueventuracounty.org/. Donations are the primary way to participate.
What do you do when you aren't changing the world?
(JY): I am financially and emotionally invested in my special needs niece’s charity, Helping Hands for GAND, and also support Domestic Violence Solutions. I love entertainment of all types and will go to any stadium event. My passion is also pets, I donate to ASPCA and I have an 18-year old Chihuahua, Charlie.
