Join us for the K-State Employee United Way Campaign kickoff

Submitted by United Way Campaign Committee

Mark your calendars and get ready to make a difference! The K-State United Way Campaign Committee invites all employees to the kickoff of this year's K-State Employee United Way Campaign. Join us at the K-State Alumni Center at the United Way booth today, Oct. 2, from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. to enjoy complimentary Call Hall Dairy Bar ice cream and learn more about how you can support United Way.

This year, we are excited to foster a culture of giving and community support. Your contributions can help make a significant impact on the lives of those in need. Whether you choose to donate financially or volunteer your time, every effort counts.

To kick off the campaign, we encourage you to watch a special message from President Richard Linton. His insights on the importance of giving back and supporting our community set the tone for a successful campaign. You can watch the video here.

Come connect with fellow employees, enjoy some ice cream and learn more about how you can get involved with United Way. Together, we can make a lasting impact on our community and help those who need it most.

If you are unable to attend the kickoff but would like to learn more, contact your unit's volunteer ambassador or a member of the United Way Campaign Committee.
