Support United Way of Grundy County’s mission by participating in our Virtual
Campaign Auction & Fundraiser to help fund vital programs & services in Grundy County.
United Way of Grundy County’s Special Events Committee has announced the cancellation of the 2020 campaign fundraising dinner event that was scheduled for September 16, 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Based on the ReStore Illinois phase timeline, social distancing guidelines and for the safety of our volunteers and all those who attend the event, the Committee has had to make this very difficult decision.
Funds raised from this annual dinner event go toward the campaign goal which is then distributed to local Community Partner Agencies by way of a grant to support more than 50 vital programs and services in Grundy County. In lieu of the dinner event, we are hosting this Virtual Campaign Auction in the hopes to continue to raise the funds needed to support vital programs and services in Grundy County!
In addition to this virtual auction, we are also hosting a 50/50 Cash Raffle. The winner will receive 1/2 of the funds raised through raffle sales. The drawing will take place on August 31st. Tickets available for purchase online here or offline through the UWGC office. Email Info@UWGrundy.org or call (815) 942-4430 for details.
