Every year, dozens of local businesses large and small run United Way fundraising campaigns. Through one-time gifts or ongoing payroll deduction, employees at these organizations have the opportunity to invest in our community by supporting United Way.

Led by teams of hard-working volunteers at each organization, these dynamic campaigns often involve large group kick-off meetings, educational programs, strategic communications, special events and more—raising critical resources for our community and delivering valuable team-building experiences for our business partners.

United Way staff can provide logistical support and a range of turn-key communications materials to assist your organization in planning and implementing a fun and effective United Way fundraising campaign. To get information on starting a United Way campaign in your office, contact Lisa Frey, Senior Development Manager at (847) 768-1074 or lfrey@uw-mc.org
