Emerging Leaders Society Kickoff EvenT

Emerging Leaders Society Kickoff Event on Monday, July 17th

If you are interested in helping those in need, if you want to learn from top leaders in our community, and if you want to be a leader yourself, then you belong in our Emerging Leaders Society. United Way of the Virginia Peninsula is excited to launch this new affinity group, Emerging Leaders Society (ELS). This program is for United Way donors in their 20s and 30s who work to ensure that every child succeeds in school, our community is a safe and healthy place, and those living here have financial stability. ELS is the next generation of philanthropic leaders on the Virginia Peninsula, and we welcome you to be a part of it. Join us for our kickoff event at Tradition Brewing Company in Newport News on Monday, July 17th at 5 PM. This is a wonderful opportunity to network and to hear from some of our community’s most philanthropic leaders: Debra A. Flores, Sentara CarePlex Hospital; Conway H. Sheild, III, Jones, Blechman, Woltz & Kelly; and Keith D. VanderVennet, Ferguson Enterprises.  For More Information about the event and to RSVP, click here

Day of Caring

Wednesday, September 6, 2017

The United Way of the Virginia Peninsula has an exciting event planned this fall to showcase how our community LIVES UNITED. Through the generosity of thousands of compassionate donors and hundreds of unselfish volunteers, United Way is working to improve financial stability, quality education, and the health of everyone in our community. On Wednesday, September 6, 2017, United Way will celebrate both the kick-off of our 2017 campaign and our 24th annual Day of Caring. Day of Caring is an event where business leaders come together with local nonprofits to leave the world better than they found it.

Spread the kindness! Anyone can join UWVP's Day of Caring by showing acts of kindness and by caring for others all year long: pass it on with social media post and the hashtags #uwonemoment and #dayofcaring. This year, we can truly make a difference just by caring for the community in a single moment!

Last year, our volunteers supported various local non-profit organizations and showed their community how they LIVE UNITED.
