Cagle has been a member of the Board of Directors of the United Way of Davidson County for the past four years, and has been actively involved in Lexington, Thomasville, and Davidson County civic activities since becoming Senior VP of BB&T in Davidson County in 1989.
A native of Roanoke Rapids, N.C., Cagle is a graduate of Wingate University, Wake Forest University, and the LSU School of Banking of the South. Cagle has served as a board member of the Lexington Area Chamber of Commerce, Sapona Country Club, Uptown Lexington, Davidson Progress, Davidson Vision and Davidson Medical Ministries Clinic.
He also has served as President of the Lexington Kiwanis Club and the J.
Smith Young YMCA. A member of First United Methodist Church in Lexington,
Cagle is married to Nancy and they have three grown sons. Cagle and BB&T
are primary sponsors, along with The Dispatch, of the Lexington Barbecue
Festival and he also is heavily involved in this major event.
“We are extremely grateful and excited that Frank Cagle will serve as our chief volunteer during the 2010-11 United Way Campaign, serving as
our Campaign Chair,” Dr. D. Lee Jessup Jr., president of the United Way of Davidson County, said. “Frank is an energetic and enthusiastic supporter of the United Way and a good friend, so it will be fun to work with him this year. Our Board is excited he’s going to lead our United Way effort during this important Campaign.”
Although the United Way chapter fell short of its campaign goal last year, officials are once again setting the bar high as the need in the county is ever-increasing.
“Our research has told us that we really need to increase our goal rather than lowering it,” James Carmichael, assistant superintendent with Thomasville City Schools and the United Way Board Chair, said. “The $2,110,750 goal reflects the Board’s commitment to raise even more dollars this coming year to fund programs that meet basic human needs, provide services to at-risk children, youth, and older adults and meet the needs of special populations right here in our corner of the world.
“We will work as hard as we can to meet this ambitious goal because many people in Davidson County will have better lives because of the programs we help fund.”
The United Way of Davidson County 2010-11 Campaign begins Aug. 1, with
a Pacesetter Campaign. Last year, the United Way Campaign raised nearly $2
million dollars in Davidson County and provided partial funding for programs sponsored by 31 human service agencies in the county.
