We Did It- Together!


Wow! Thanks to your generosity and commitment to making a difference, we raised an astonishing $954,500 for the Columbus Area United Way!


Every dollar will go towards improving education, health, and financial stability right here in our local community. You’ve helped change lives, and we couldn’t be more grateful for your support.


When we come together, we can accomplish amazing things. Thank you for believing in the mission and showing up for those who need it most.
