For more than a thousand years, the red feather has been used as a reward for special acts. England’s Black Prince, during the Crusades, awarded it for unusual acts of valor or chivalry. American Indians awarded red dyed eagle feathers to their most fearless braves, and Robin Hood awarded a red feather to his men for acts of exceptional goodness.
Following in tradition, the United Way of Madison County offers our leadership givers, those who contribute more than $1,000, admission into our Feather Society. Members of the Feather Society not only provide important funds for our partner agencies, but are inspiration to others. They truly lead by example.

| Platinum Level: |
$5,000 - $9,999 |
