Thanks to your generosity, United Way raised an unprecedented $60,130,484 for programs to improve the health, education, and financial stability of all in our community. Additionally, thousands of volunteers donated over 21,124 hours of service during the annual Season of Caring. All we can say is: THANK YOU.
The 2016 Sweepstakes Prize Patrol had fun surprising this year’s winners, some of whom have given to United Way for 20+ years, while others made their first gift this year!
