OREANDA-NEWS. Williams (NYSE: WMB) announced that for the 25th consecutive year Williams' United Way campaign total in Tulsa has topped USD 1 million. This year, the company raised more than USD 1.4 million for the Tulsa Area United Way's annual fundraising campaign.

The 2014 Tulsa campaign total includes Tulsa employee pledges, amounts raised from employee fundraisers in Tulsa, donations from retirees and board members, and the dollar-for-dollar matching contribution from the company's foundation. Williams' cumulative contributions to the Tulsa Area United Way over the last 25 years total more than USD 48 million.

"Reaching this milestone shows what a tremendous tradition of giving Williams' employees have built over the last 25 years," said Williams President and Chief Executive Officer Alan Armstrong. "This spirit of generosity is obvious not just in Tulsa, but across all the communities in North America where we have employees. Williams is proud to support United Way agencies that provide critical services to thousands of people in the communities where we do business."

Williams' Andrea Mogab, who chaired the company's Tulsa campaign, praised the many volunteers who organized fundraisers, activities and events over the last several weeks to make the campaign fun and informative.

"It's very rewarding to be a part of the continuing strong support that employees, retirees and others in the Williams family demonstrate for the Tulsa Area United Way," said Mogab.

In addition to its Tulsa headquarters, Williams runs more than 80 United Way campaigns in its offices across the United States and Canada. In 2013, the company's employees, retirees and board members contributed more than USD 4.1 million to more than 200 total United Ways in the United States and Canada.
