Yesterday, more than 300 community members gathered at the Milwaukee County Zoo to kick off the annual United Way Community Campaign.
Campaign co-chairs
Sheila Cochran, Milwaukee Area Labor Council AFL-CIO Retiree;
Matt Levatich, Harley-Davidson Motor Company;
Jay Magulski, Landmark Credit Union; and
Jonas Prising, ManpowerGroup, premiered the 2017 Success Story videos, shared exciting new United Way initiatives and developments, and unveiled the 2017 Community Campaign Goal: $60,250,000.
Now it’s time to get to work. United, we fight for those who need a voice, and for those whose names we do not know. No matter the obstacles, no matter the odds, we surround the community’s most critical problems…and we fight.
To live better, we must Live United. How will you be part of the story?
