Campaign season is starting! As a loyal United Way of Kaw Valley supporter, we wanted you to be the first to meet our 2026-27 Campaign Chairs. Our chairs are volunteer leaders who lend their voices and support to our work and our fundraising efforts in their county.

And thank you once again to outgoing chairs Doug Wolff (Shawnee County/Security Benefit) and Derek Kwan (Douglas County/University of Kansas Lied Center).
Campaign Ambassador and Campaign Coordinator training are also underway. Ambassadors will be available to help you organize and run a fun, engaging and successful United Way workplace campaign.
