1 week to go for Day of Caring registration!

Day of Caring Projects

1 WEEK LEFT

Please help us invite ALL nonprofits, including local agencies, service clubs, public schools, municipal partners and community organizations in the Blackhawk Region to participate.

Organizations benefit by hosting 1/2 or full-day projects they may not have otherwise been able to tackle, as well as the opportunity to inspire new supporters with their mission and impact.

Agencies are encouraged to submit multiple projects; simply complete a separate registration form for each project.

The deadline to submit project(s) is the close of business on Friday, Aug. 11.

Day of Caring Volunteers

1 WEEK LEFT

United Way's Day of Caring is an annual day of action that connects teams of corporate volunteers with community service projects.

The deadline to register volunteer teams is the close of business on Friday, Aug. 11.

UWBR will do our best to accommodate hundreds of volunteers, but reserve the opportunity to right-size the event based on project needs. Teams are limited to corporate partners that host United Way campaigns.

Day of Caring & Campaign Kickoff Breakfast

United Way's Day of Caring and the Community Campaign kicks off on Wednesday, September 13, with breakfast at the Eclipse Center.

Who may attend Breakfast?

Our community is cordially invited to attend breakfast, alongside Day of Caring participants.

Is there a cost to attend?

Thanks to the generosity of Day of Caring sponsors, the Campaign Kickoff breakfast is FREE to attend. However, an RSVP is required for an accurate count. If you RSVP but do not attend, we are still charged for the meal. Please help us effectively manage sponsorship dollars by prioritizing attendance.

RSVP

Volunteer Team Leads will register team members for breakfast as part of registration. If you would like to RSVP as an individual, separate from a Day of Caring volunteer team, do so below.

Day of Caring Sponsors

Day of Caring is made possible by the generous support of our sponsors, as well as a grant from the Volunteer Generation Fund in partnership with AmeriCorps. Sponsorship dollars afford hundreds of volunteers a Day of Caring t-shirt and help to offset the rising costs of an exciting breakfast event.

Host a Workplace Campaign

When your company hosts a United Way employee giving or workplace campaign, your team's donations stay local, decisions on how to invest resources are made by volunteers, and effective programs are accountable for measurable outcomes. When you partner with United Way, you create opportunities to engage your employees more deeply in their communities. UWBR directs dollars where they’re needed most, to achieve the greatest impact.
