Is there a cost to attend?

Thank you, Employee Campaign Coordinators!

The annual Community Campaign is right around the corner. United Way works hard to identify every donor and dollar possible to move the needle on tough-to-solve issues, including our region’s pressing problems such as poverty and financial instability, homelessness, food insecurity, lack of affordable childcare, youth development, and mental health care. To do so, United Way partners with more than 100 local organizations to host workplace or employee giving campaigns.

Last week, trailblazing volunteers who serve as Employee Campaign Coordinators attended the first training session. Thank you to the following partners for participating: City of Janesville, Evonik, Hedberg Public Library, Johnson Financial Group, NorthStar Medical Radioisotopes, LLC, Premier Bank, QPS Employment Group, Rock County, Seneca Foods Corporation, and SSI Technologies, Inc.

Don't worry if you missed it, there is still time to register for the August 31 or September 6 session. Both seasoned and novice volunteers are encouraged to attend.

Marketing Sponsors

Thank you to our annual Marketing Sponsors for underwriting the cost of promotional efforts. We appreciate your help to deliver United Way's message so donor dollars can be invested in programs that make our communities stronger.
