Greetings!

 

 

Again this year, United Way of East Central Iowa is honoring some of our area's outstanding volunteers at an April 26, 2013, Volunteer Recognition event at the Hotel at Kirkwood in southwest Cedar Rapids.

 

We need your help, however. Please follow this link to nominate somebody.

 

The awards are open to volunteers throughout United Way's six-county area and recognize outstanding volunteer service. 

 

Winners in each category will receive $500 to donate to a nonprofit of their choice.

 

Video from last year's event and of last year's winners can be found here.

 

Until next month,

 

Your United Way Team
