Event Recap
3rd Annual Bike Swap
Thanks to Continental Ski & Bike over 200 bikes were bought and sold in support of healthy living, a greener environment.  Proceeds of $6,000 were donated to United Way community programs. We couldn't have done it without the generous support of our volunteers!

Over 255 attendees and 60 organizations participated to help connect people with volunteer opportunities and summer activities throughout our community. 
 
Imagination Library Day at Barnes & Noble
Many families supported Imagination Library day at Barnes & Noble.  Thank you to Barnes & Noble for donating 10% of all purchases to United Way's Imagination Library. Storytime by United Way's Llama costume character was enjoyed by several children.  Learn more about Imagination Library.

National Volunteer Week 2009
Over 3,000 purple ribbons were given to local volunteers in honor of National Volunteer Week.  The purple ribbons recognized their dedication to making a difference with discounts and offers from over 40 local businesses!  Thank you to our sponsors!
