Top 10 Reasons to run a United Way Campaign… • Because you have nothing better to do and all the free time in the world • Because you get paid so much more when you take this project on • Because the money you raise helps more than 85,000 people in Brown county • You love seeing your CEO or boss getting soaked in the dunk tank • Because you can have a kiss the goat competition and get paid for it • Because you love your community and neighborhood and want it to be a great place to live for your family and friends • It’s the one time you may be able to get tickets to see a Packer game (or in my case, Brett Favre!) • You love the fact that for three months straight there are treats in the break room and you are encouraged to eat them • It brings great services to Brown County such as 2-1-1 that EVERYONE can use • 1. Because everyone falls on hard times at least once in their life and the campaign you run will give them the helping hand they need!
