Be sure to save the dates (October 18–25) for a fun week of United Way Campaign activities. This year’s theme is Halloween/Fall Festivities, and a video will be shown at our kick-off party on Wednesday, October 18.

Here’s a sneak preview of a few things to begin planning for now:

Raffle Basket Donations

Raffle baskets are a fun way to participate in donating to United Way. Have fun creating a basket that will be “bought” with raffle tickets. You, your family/friends, classroom units or teams of co-workers can join forces to donate items.

Trunk or Treat!

Plans are also under way for a mini indoor “trunk or treat” to get the kids involved! Get together with your department or coworkers to brainstorm station ideas! Click here if you need some inspiration for your trunk!

For those of you who are new to United Way, here are a few facts about how it helps CHS and other nonprofit agencies:

Sioux Empire United Way is a fundraising organization that runs a campaign each year to help serve the population of children, vulnerable adults, and people in crisis in the surrounding area, including Lincoln, McCook, Minnehaha and Turner counties.

United Way has served the community for 94 years! Ninety cents of every dollar made goes directly into 75 local programs and services (including Bright Start and Children’s Home Shelter for Family Safety!)

Watch for the calendar of events to be posted in early October for the week of festivities.
