United Way of the CSRA is hosting their first-ever virtual campaign kickoff on Monday, August 24, from 11:30 a.m. to 12 p.m. The annual event, traditionally hosted at the Bell Auditorium and previously attracting more than 500 attendees throughout the CSRA, will be livestreamed on http://www.uwcsra.org/campaignkickoff this year due to COVID-19.

The event will be in an interactive format, recognizing the tremendous needs residents face in our community, and the work that still needs to be done so that local individuals and families can weather the impacts of COVID-19 and lead healthy, successful lives going forward. Attendees can view the event on their computer, tablet, or mobile device, and are encouraged to interact in the livestream chat box before and during the event.

“Right now, the safety of our community is a top priority for us. Of course, we would have loved to kick off our 2020 campaign with each and every one of you in person, but with Georgia’s health safety precautions in place, we had to make a tough decision,” says Brittany Burnett, President & CEO of United Way of the CSRA. “We look forward to bringing our community together in this new, virtual format to learn, connect, and get inspired together. This will be a tough campaign year, but we know great things can happen when we all pull together for the greater good and help our fellow neighbors in need.”
