The Salina Area United Way (SAUW) has announced that its 2020-2021 annual campaign kick-off will be a combination virtual and come-and-go event.
The kickoff is scheduled for 10 a.m.-2 p.m. Sept. 22, according to information provided by SAUW.
The theme for the 2020-2021 annual campaign is “Building Bridges: Yesterday, Today, & Tomorrow.” The campaign has a goal to raise $550,000.
This year’s kickoff will include a virtual event and a come-and-go event at the SAUW office, 210 East Walnut Street, Suite 100. Interested persons will be able to stream the event via the SAUW Facebook page and YouTube or join the staff and board of directors at the SAUW office.
The event will have virtual and in-person interviews with community partner directors, board members, and more. 3B’s BBQ Food Truck will be located at the SAUW office from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m.
“We know this is a crucial time for our community and we want to be there to support them. To reach our goal of $550,000 would be tremendous for our community partners especially during these tough times,” said Claire Mullen, executive director. “By starting the COVID-19 Relief Fund, we stepped up as a leader for our community and we want to continue on that same path with our annual campaign.”
People can donate to this year’s campaign in several ways.
