GetUP Virtual Physical Challenge

Thank you for getting UP for community!

This year’s virtual physical challenge was a huge success thanks to our amazing participants. People ran, walked, danced, stretched and cycled for 300 minutes in support of our community.

We want to say a big THANK YOU to everyone who participated and everyone who donated. You’ve shown your #LocalLove for our community and helped ensure that United Way can continue to do its work addressing local poverty, homelessness, food insecurity and other pressing issues.

We also want to thank KPMG for making this event possible.

See you next time!
