Thank you to everyone who attended the Watertown Area United Way Kick Off held Tuesday, September 6 the beginning of the 2022-2023 Campaign! Kick Off was held at Montgomery's Furniture thanks to the partnership with the Sinclair family who has made United Way a priority in their company. Also, thank you to KXLG Radio for coming to the Campaign Kick Off to cover the event!
Our 2022-2023 Wrap Up event will be Wednesday, March 1, 2023, at 5:30pm at Montgomery's. The winner of the $5,000 Room Makeover Sweepstakes will be drawn and if present can win an additional $500!
Now that campaign is coming to a close be sure to follow United Way on social media and share our posts. We need the entire community's support to reach 100% of our $715,000 goal. Funds raised will go towards our 38 local programs.
To help United Way reach goal, local businesses run internal workplace campaigns. Those campaigns unite employees and inspires a culture of philanthropy. Everyone is encouraged to give in any way they can whether it is time spent planning a workplace campaign, volunteering as a United Way campaign volunteer, or with a financial contribution to the United Way. Many offer payroll deduction as a method to give to United Way and if not, then they encourage employees to give online. Loaned Executive volunteers often visit workplaces during the Fall to lead rallies, play our annual video, and collect business packets. The workforce campaign is about raising awareness and funds to better our community and further the United Way mission. Company Leadership can share their values and personal stories with staff to serve as an example of generosity.
If your workplace is looking to campaign with Watertown Area United Way please call or email our office at (605) 886-5815 or director@watertownunitedway.org. If your workplace is looking to organize a item drive or volunteer day please contact the Watertown Volunteer Center one of United Way's funded programs at (605) 753-0282 or miranda@visitwatertownsd.com.
