It’s that time of year again: the leaves are changing colors, the air is crisp, and people are bringing out their sweaters. Yes, it’s time for the Sherburne County Area United Way’s campaign kickoff! The kickoff is done every year, but this time around there are two changes.
The first change isn’t directly related to the campaign kickoff, it’s our Business Blitz. For the first time, the Sherburne County Area United Way is having a Business Blitz. The blitz will be on Tuesday, September 27th, and all local business are invited to participate. The goal of the Business Blitz is to make connections with local businesses, and collect a one-time donation from participating businesses. Like all other money given to the Sherburne County Area United Way, donations collected during the Business Blitz stay local, and will be used to fund local agencies and programs.
The second change is that this year, our campaign kickoff is going to have a carnival atmosphere, including a magician and fun food! We are also encouraging networking at this year’s kickoff, both to let local business people get to know each other, but also to facilitate the sharing of campaign information between companies. Our goal for this year’s kickoff is for people to get to know each other and for everyone to come away with information that will help create a better campaign. There will also be speakers talking about the impact of the Sherburne County Area United Way in the community.
The Sherburne County Area United Way’s campaign kickoff will be held at the Elk River Golf Club from 11:30 – 1:30 on September 29th. For more information on ways to contribute to the Sherburne County Area United Way, or for more information on either the Business Blitz of campaign kickoff, please call 763-633-5886 or email joy@shercounitedway.org or jenna@shercounitedway.org.
