United Way's 2024 Campaign Closing Event

December 13, 2024

This year's Campaign Co-Chairs celebrated, along with our community, a successful 2024 Community Campaign last night at Marcus Majestic Cinema in Waukesha.

 

On December 12, 2024, at Marcus Majestic Cinema in Waukesha, United Way of Greater Milwaukee & Waukesha County gathered with our Campaign Co-Chairs, cabinet members, and the community to celebrate our 2024 Community Campaign closing event. Together, with donors like you, United Way of Greater Milwaukee & Waukesha County raised $59,744,243 for our community this year

As guests walked the red carpet and mingled, we gathered to celebrate the achievements made together during the campaign season and throughout 2024. Members of United Way Donor Networks alongside our Campaign Co-Chairs took to the stage to express the important work being done. Together, we applauded our Million Dollar Companies, cheered our Give & Win Sweepstakes winners, and celebrated the amazing accomplishments of our Key Initiatives this year.

Thank you to our Campaign Co-Chairs John Florsheim (Weyco Group), Craig Jorgensen (VJS Construction Services), Scott Turner (Children’s Wisconsin), and DeVona Wright Cottrell (GMR Marketing) for leading this year's campaign, and thank you to Ascension Wisconsin for sponsoring our closing event. And thank you for believing, for giving, and for showing what we can accomplish when we come together. Our mission wouldn’t be possible without your help, so we want to say thank you. Thank you for your donation, your time, and your advocacy.
