United Way of Greater Milwaukee & Waukesha County

Our United Way of Greater Milwaukee & Waukesha County Trivia Challenge was back this year. Anyone who donated at least $120 (in honor of our 120th Anniversary) could play. Four teams battled over Trivial Pursuit questions that were obscure, controversial, or according to the teams that didn't win, “too easy”. Congrats to this winning team of Steven Nelson, Jordyn Janikowski, Derek Waterstreet and Steven M. Szymanski. A big thank you to everyone who donated to the United Way in honor of our 120th Anniversary and for making a difference in our communities. #CommunityMatters #UnitedWay #LawFirmLife

It's not too late to get your company, organization, or group and get your tags for the 2024 Holiday Giving Tree! Our goal for the Holiday Giving Tree remains the same: to share gifts with our neighbors that may otherwise go without. Last year, with your help, we were able to match over 7,300 wishes. By purchasing your group tags for the United Way's Holiday Giving Tree program, we are able to mobilize gifts to spread cheer for local children, adults, and seniors.

This week, the team kicked off our United Way of Greater Milwaukee & Waukesha County campaign with a soup contest!

Nancy Clarkin, I concur! I had a terrific experience at the Women Uniting For Good conference in Baltimore where I attended my first meeting as an official member of the Global Leadership Council! JanineDriver.com left me wanting so much more (her words "open looping"), which means I'm getting her to Milwaukee to impart her wisdom ASAP and Janice Bryant Howroyd (ActOne Group) left me charged and inspired by her countless words of wisdom - thank you! And my favorite quote from the event - "A woman is like a tea bag; you never know how strong she is until she's in hot water." - Eleanor Roosevelt #Baird #United Way #WomenUnited #United Way of Greater Milwaukee & Waukesha County
