United Way Annual Events
Our annual Campaign Celebration recognizes the success of the previous year’s campaign and highlights the impact made possible through the generosity of our donors, volunteers, and partners. Guests enjoy a meal, hear inspiring stories, and celebrate the collective efforts changing lives across Howard and Tipton Counties.
Campaign Celebration takes place during the first quarter of the year.
Day of Caring is our largest volunteer event of the year, mobilizing individuals and corporate teams to complete meaningful service projects throughout the community. The day begins with a kickoff program and meal before volunteers head to project sites to support local nonprofits and organizations.
Day of Caring occurs during the second quarter of 2027, often in the month of June.
Our Campaign Kickoff launches the annual fundraising campaign and announces the fundraising goal for the year ahead. This exciting signature event combines impact stories, campaign announcements, and a lively competition that brings community members together for a fun and memorable experience.
