The United Way Campaign Team is busy planning for the #duckrace2024. 

This year there will be 10,000 tickets...and that's it. Each ticket is $10. (We like it because it's easy to remember! 10K for $10)

The pros: It's simple, easy to remember, and the limited number of ducks available mean greater odds of winning one of the amazing prizes!

The cons: You'll have to be on top of your game on June 3rd to grab your duck before it's gone!

What an incredible time we had at our Annual Meeting! It's wonderful to celebrate our successes and share the impact we've had over the last year.



Even better, we got to celebrate the INCREDIBLE volunteers that made all the difference for our partner agencies. Thank you to everyone who gives of their time and energy to build up others in our community. Join us as we celebrate these local heroes!
