A message from Danielle

Dear United Way Friends,

Thanks to you, September was a busy, exciting and successful month at United Way of Dubuque Area Tri-States.

We shared moments of humility and joy while witnessing the community's generous response to our two big events this month.

Meanwhile we are thrilled to meet, in-person, with dozens of businesses to officially kick-off their workplace campaigns.

In this month's newsletter you'll find opportunities to Give, Advocate & Volunteer. Thank you for being the good in the world.

Sincerely,

Danielle Leibfried

President/CEO

Campaign Kick-Off Breakfast

Mark Dickson shares why John Deere Dubuque Works supports United Way during the campaign kick-off breakfast at the Diamond Jo Casino on September 1, 2022. More than 200 people enjoyed this year's event.

Over The Edge

Robyn Johns from Cottingham & Butler, was one of 77 brave people who went "Over the Edge" of the MidwestOne building in Dubuque on September 9, 2022. The fundraising goal for the annual event was $90,000 but supporters smashed the goal, raising $132,000 for the United Way Community Impact Fund. Thank you to the 53 volunteers who helped make this event happen.
