Join us at 9 a.m. Tuesday, Sept. 15, for our State of United Way Virtual Town Hall. Our President and CEO Dr. Darienne Hudson will sit down with WXYZ-TV news anchor Carolyn Clifford for an important discussion. They’ll touch on the events of the past year, including the heartbreaking struggles that COVID-19 has caused in our community. They’ll also discuss how, with your help, we can continue to address the immediate needs of the community while creating long-term change.  

This year’s Run United effort will take place virtually, with funds addressing the digital divide in our community. Anyone can participate, as runners will amass 26.2 miles throughout the month rather than at one time. Announce your participation or cheer on a participant on social media.

Stand United for equity.

Register to vote, pledge to vote and/or fill out the census. Share your pledge(s) on social media.

2020-21 Community Giving Campaign Kickoff

Join us for a night of socially-distanced family fun as we kick off our annual community giving campaign at the drive-in!

This year’s kickoff takes place at the Emagine Novi Drive-In, in the parking lot of Twelve Oaks Crossing at Fountain Walk. Gates open at 6:30 p.m. on Friday, Sept. 18, and the movie begins at 8 p.m. This event also wraps up our Stand United challenge, a week of activities to celebrate the beginning of the campaign while making an impact in the community.

Even before COVID-19, 44 percent of the households in Southeastern Michigan struggled to afford their basic needs. We know the pandemic has made it more difficult for many households to make ends meet. Money raised from this event will go toward United Way for Southeastern Michigan’s Recovery and Resilience Fund, which helps families affected by the virus.

Together, we’re working to help households reach stability and to help children thrive. It’s the perfect way to unite as a community and do some good while still safely keeping our distance. 

Registration is $30 per car and includes a snack pack.

Space is limited so sign up today!
