2025 Community Campaign

2025 United Way Community Campaign Kickoff

 

United Way Logo on Building with Overlay Play Button

United Way’s 2025 Community Campaign runs now through December with a fundraising goal of $56 million!

This year's Campaign Co-chairs are Kurt Bechthold (Walbec Group), Steve Booth (Baird), Raquel Filmanowicz (VC 414), and Scott Lauber (We Energies) who are supported by our 2025 Campaign Cabinet

Thank you to Baird for sponsoring our kickoff event!

If your company or organization runs a United Way workplace campaign, that is the best way for you to donate. If they don’t, you can still give to help us reach our 2025 goal.

United is the Way we build a strong community.

Being a leader in philanthropy means focusing on building stronger, more inclusive, and equitable organizations and communities. It means empowering and celebrating those around us. We are fortunate to witness the impact of these individuals every day within our community.

Each year, United Way's Emerging Leaders recognizes and honors community leaders in their 20s, 30s, and 40s who are dedicated to giving back, getting involved, and taking action for positive change. We celebrate the contributions of these inspiring individuals through our annual Philanthropic 5 and Philanthropic Youth awards. The Philanthropic Youth Award recognizes outstanding youth community leaders under 21 years old.

Thank you to our longtime event sponsor, BMO, and our media sponsor, Milwaukee Business Journal!

Meet our 2025 award winners: Mayra Alaniz, Betty Hill, Erik Kennedy, Tyler Odeneal, Tim Patterson, and Philanthropic Youth winner, Phin Clarkin.
