United Way of Northern Arizona — Will We See You at Our Annual Celebration?

by Community Contributor • February 29, 2024 • Comments Off

Plan on joining us as we celebrate our collective community impact and share some exciting news that will further our efforts to step up for our youth in Coconino, Navajo, and Apache counties.

Our Annual Campaign & Community Impact Luncheon will start at 11:30 am on Wednesday, March 27 at Little America Hotel.

Tickets are $50 / $375 for a table of 8.

We’ll be recognizing the hard-working workplace campaign coordinators, volunteers, partners, and supporters who make United Way of Northern Arizona’s work possible. We’ll also hold a supply drive and fun activity for the KinderCamp™ program.

We’re asking luncheon attendees to bring items needed by KinderCamp, our signature summer initiative to help preschoolers get ready academically, socially, and emotionally for the first day of kindergarten.

Here are the supplies needed by KinderCamp:

White copy paper

Color markers

Wooden clothespins

Sheet protectors

Tissue boxes

Stickers (any kind!)

Clorox wipes

Googly eyes

At the event, we’ll ask each table to create a centerpiece out of the supplies they bring. The centerpieces will be judged and each member of the winning table will receive a Scenic Skyride ticket courtesy of Arizona Snowbowl!

We’ll also be installing the new members of the United Way of Northern Arizona Board of Directors.

Many thanks to APS for their sponsorship of our event.

Celebrating Black History Beyond February

As we say goodbye to February we also conclude another Black History Month, and we also know learning about the contributions of Black individuals and communities shouldn’t be limited to just 29 days.

Take this opportunity to learn more and dig deeper throughout the year. Explore documentaries or books dedicated to the Black experiences; seek out and support Black-owned businesses; discuss issues of racial justice and inequity with family, friends, and colleagues.

By learning and actively working towards a more just future, we can ensure that Black History Month isn’t just a February observance, but part of committing to building a more equitable society all year long.
