Alaska supporters of United Way of Anchorage gathered on Sept. 12 at Kincaid Park.
“It was amazing how we all came together to make this event a success.”
Wow, we had an amazing night kicking off our 2024 Community Campaign! Donors, volunteers and staff members from funded partners and local workplaces filled the room and created a surge to propel our annual fundraising drive toward success.
“What an honor to convene Alaska’s great nonprofits and amplify their excellent work.”
One hundred and eighty people attended—milling about The Chalet, smiling and laughing. They chatted with one another and our staff members about how to collaborate and asked questions about getting involved and supporting change. They stopped by tables with information, staffed by 23 nonprofits, to learn how they’re helping our fellow Alaskans.
“I loved hearing the buzz of people talking where all the nonprofits were tabling.”
These people joined us because they want to reach higher to lift up Alaskans. Their positive vibes combined with the welcoming atmosphere was enhanced by delicious food, our door prize and our raffle. You can buy tickets for our raffle until Dec. 31.
“We want to share our supporters and connect them with causes they care about. Sharing helps Alaska, which is what United Way’s all about.”
These insights reflect exactly what we strive to do with our Community Campaign: Give Alaskans more opportunities to thrive. People—like you and those at workplaces and nonprofits—who are lending helping hands contribute to solutions that empower others to achieve their potential.
“Nonprofits and community collaborators were excited to participate. Because United Way leaned into our work, we cultivated a space that was more than inclusive—it was energetic.”
Will you pledge your support to us, other United Ways in Alaska and Alaska nonprofits? Together, we’ll amplify our impact.
