United Way To Hold Campaign Kickoff Circus Event

September 10, 2015

United Way of Escambia County invites the community to join them for the annual campaign kickoff.

The free luncheon will  feature many of United Way’s 30 funded nonprofit agency partners that benefit from the workplace fundraising campaigns. It will give attendees a more personalized opportunity to learn how their donated dollars impact local lives, according to a press release. The circus-themed event will take place on Thursday, September 17 from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. at the Pensacola Bay Center.

The three rings of United Way’s kickoff circus celebration reflect core focus areas that are the building blocks for successful communities—health, education and financial stability. Under the big top, an agency fair will give attendees the opportunity to learn more about how their donations improve lives in Escambia County.

Some partner agencies attending include Big Brothers Big Sisters of Northwest Florida, Early Learning Coalition, Manna Food Pantries and Legal Services of North Florida. United Way will announce our community’s workplace campaign goal for the year and will recognize the Pacesetter campaign totals. United Way said these campaigns represent those that have “set the pace” and built momentum for the campaign year.

If you are interested in how you can combine your giving and community impact with 8,000 other generous donors from 250 workplaces, join United Way for a free lunch. Last year, United Way campaign partners raised over $2.15 million for our community.

“Each year, United Way of Escambia County puts together a kickoff event that both informs the community about the annual workplace campaign and engages everyone in a fun-filled environment,” said United Way Campaign Chair Oliver Sumlin. “This year will be no different. You don’t want to miss out when we bring our own circus to town on September 17.”
