Before heading to your Day of Caring volunteer project, join us at the Seattle Center Mural Amphitheater tomorrow, September 21, at 7:30 a.m. to get everything you need for an unforgettable Day of Caring experience!
Once again, thank you to our sponsors for making Day of Caring possible: AT&T, WaMu, Microsoft Corporation, Home Depot, Tully's, the Seattle Center and KEXP. Tully's teams up with United Way September 21 On Friday, September 21, 15% of all retail sales at Tully's locations in King County will be donated directly to United Way of King County. Thank you to Tully's for their generous support! Get the keys to success September 26 Our campaign coordinator conference will give you the insights, information and tools you need to lead a successful campaign. This conference is a terrific opportunity to meet other coordinators and trade ideas and best practices. If you're a rookie coordinator, this is an excellent opportunity to gain a lot of information that will help you as you plan your campaign. And, if you're a seasoned campaign veteran, use this opportunity to learn about the new happenings at United Way of King County, and share your expertise with others. This training will be held September 26, 8:30 a.m. to noon at the New Holly Gathering Hall in Seattle. It is free and a continental breakfast will be served. UPS celebrates a century of success It started out in 1907 as the brainchild of two teenagers in a Seattle basement, whose fledgling messenger service made deliveries on foot or on bicycle. As UPS celebrates its 100-year anniversary later this month, it now is the world's largest shipping carrier-a $47 billion business with a fleet of trucks, an airline and operations in 200 countries. Throughout its history, UPS has found that it grows by investing not only in its business, but also in the communities it serves. The company has been an incredible supporter of United Way both locally and on a national level. UPS has twice won the coveted United Way of America Spirit of America Award. The UPS Washington District is a top 10 financial contributor to United Way of King County and consistently participates in Day of Caring. It also donated printers to the United Way of King County's Free Tax Preparation Campaign. "UPS and United Way share a common goal of building stronger communities and helping people," said UPS Chairman and CEO Mike Eskew. "We are so proud of our employees who deliver more than just packages - they deliver a helping hand to their neighbors through our partnership with United Way and other charities." You may already be a winner Every year United Way of King County gives the Outstanding Employee Campaign Award to companies that run workplace giving campaigns with exceptional results.
