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

Williams' cumulative contributions to the Tulsa Area United Way over the last 25 years total more than $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 organize 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.
