November Campaign Update

Your Impact page screenshot Nov 2020

Thanks to you, we have now crossed the half-a-million dollar mark in our annual campaign! You have now invested $626,523.77 into our community--that’s enough to ensure 167 kids have access to high quality preschool in order to start kindergarten on track with their peers. Remember that you can keep track of our campaign at anytime by visiting UnitedWayTopeka.org/YourImpact. You can also make a gift to our campaign at anytime by visiting GiveTopeka.org

Earlier this month, we said a socially distant thank you to our 2020 Campaign Ambassadors. We simply could not have gotten this far without them in this strange and stressful year. We were able to get a few masked-up photos on their final visit to the UWGT office: https://www.facebook.com/UnitedWayTopeka/posts/10158787438009361.

In true 2020 fashion, this year's Campaign Ambassador Recognition and Celebration looked a little different as we broadcast a virtual event out to their adoring friends, family, and co-workers.

Serving as a Campaign Ambassador is a tall order in a "normal" year, and as we all know, this year has been anything but normal. We cannot thank them enough for their tenacity, creativity, and perseverance in the face of tremendous odds. We are also incredibly thankful to their employers for loaning their employees this fall. Loaning an employee is always a tremendous commitment, but even more so in the face of a global pandemic.

Please join us in thanking this year's Campaign Ambassadors and their companies for their outstanding commitment to our community!
