This admirable sponsorship will make a great impact for the children in our communities.

DEVELOPMENT COMMITTEE MEMBERS:

Are you a party planner? Do you love planning social events and getting friends together? This is the committee for you! Meet once a month with like-minded people to help plan and manage United Way Fund Raising and Community Events. Great way to learn about United Way and its work without the commitment to being a board member. Sign up for the entire year or just for the events you want to be a part of. Call the office at 651-388-6309 or email teamunited@unitedwaygwp.org.
