United WAY

 

Way to Go Team Badger!

TEAM BADGER kicked off this year’s United Way campaign on September 14, 2007.  Employees united as one team, TEAM BADGER, with one purpose in mind - raise more money for United Way's 2007 campaign than was raised during the 2006 campaign.

The Employee Planning Committee energized the team with a super luncheon and representatives from Big Brothers/Big Sisters and Aurora Visiting Nurse Association of Wisconsin provided inspiration. Team spirit went spiraling when Milwaukee Bucks mascot, Bango, and the Klements Sausage Racers paid us a visit. At the end of the kick-off day employees were scrambling to record on the calendar their events.

Ideas, enthusiasm and energy were boundless.  From September 20th through November 15th, a total of 89 fundraising events were held - from bowling to trivia, rummage to raffle, candles to jewelry sales, and bake sales to employee cooked lunches.

$31,585 was raised by 125 employees through pledges and
fundraising -- a 3% increase over last year's total!

TEAM BADGER is the heart in our logo and we're proud to have played a role
 in helping United Way achieve their campaign goal.
