Day of Caring Deadline Aug. 12!

Day of Caring Registration DEADLINE

Day of Caring projects and teams may register up until the deadline of 5 p.m. on Friday, August 12, 2022. Due to supply chain challenges for Day of Caring t-shirts, this deadline is firm. Late entries will not be accepted.

Who can host a Project?

Hosting a Day of Caring project is open to ALL nonprofits, not just United Way Funded Program Partners. This includes local nonprofit agencies, service clubs, public schools, municipal partners, and community organizations in the Blackhawk Region. See answers to frequently asked questions here.

Who may Volunteer?

Corporate partners that facilitate United Way workplace / employee giving campaigns are invited to submit volunteer Day of Caring teams. This hugely popular event is orchestrated annually by United Way and serves as a value-add to nonprofits, as well as our generous partners in the private sector.

Please note:

✔ The registration form will ask for the Volunteer Team Lead and their team members' names, email addresses, t-shirt sizes, and breakfast RSVP. It's most efficient to wait to register until you've collected all of this data.

✔ Teams will be asked their preference for a half-day (morning or afternoon) or full-day project.

What's the plan?

UWBR will celebrate ten years of community impact since the Unification of the former Stateline United Way and United Way of North Rock County. We will announce the campaign goal, and launch the 10th Anniversary “GIVE & WIN” sweepstakes. The sweepstakes will feature attractive prizes generously donated by local businesses, available to donors at varying pledge levels to the annual Community Campaign. Following the delicious breakfast and brief yet exciting program, volunteers will disperse to their assigned Day of Caring projects across the region.
