FOX CITIES—United Way Fox Cities raised more than $8.5 million during its annual community campaign, allowing United Way to continue to support programs that impact 1 in 3 people in the Fox Cities.
“The incredible generosity of local companies and individuals means families are sheltered from homelessness and abuse, people find hope through counseling services, children receive the care they need to thrive to their fullest potential, and so much more,” said Peter Gianopoulos, President and CEO, United Way Fox Cities.
The 2021-22 campaign was chaired by Kim Underhill and Becky Tuchscherer. The Leadership Giving Chair was David G.
