K-State United Way

The mission of Riley County United Way: "To lead in building a healthy community by strengthening caring organizations."

K-State United Way Kickoff

The 2008 K-State United Way Campaign begins October 1st. That means it is time for the Leadership Team Kick-Off. Please mark your calendars for Monday, September 22, 2008, from 3:00 to 4:30 p.m. and plan to attend this fun event held in the K-State Student Union Ballroom.

At the Kick Off, you will receive the donor packets for your unit and your campaign information. We have several speakers who will share their insights into the work of their specific agency. We will also pass along some tips on how to excite your work group to get behind the United Way, and explain all the material you will receive.

We hope you will plan to attend the Kick-Off, enjoy some samplings from the new Salsaritas restaurant located in the Union and learn how we can all help to make a difference.

Please RSVP to Loleta Sump, loleta@ksu.edu by September 12th. If you can not attend, please let Loleta know how we might arrange to get the materials to you.
