Building great communities: Russell's 2024 United Way Campaign
Every fall at Russell marks an exciting tradition—our Annual United Way Campaign. Our 2024 campaign aimed to raise both funds and awareness for United Way Quad Cities. In addition to participating in the United Way Day of Caring, “Write Start Quad Cities” School Supply Drive, and various volunteer initiatives throughout the year, we dedicated several weeks to educating our team and raising money for this incredible organization.
United Way Quad Cities is committed to ensuring the success of students, promoting financial stability for struggling families, and cultivating an environment where all neighbors can lead healthy, happy lives. By actively funding and seeking solutions to break down barriers, United Way uplifts lives and strengthens communities across the Quad Cities.
This year, our campaign featured two standout events that brought our team together for a great cause. The first was a lively outing at Iron Tee, where snacks, drinks, and rounds of golf added to the fun. The second event, our Pizza, Pasta, and Pledging Party, included a catered lunch by Smash Pizza. Our team members purchased tickets for these events, with all proceeds going directly to United Way Quad Cities.
Throughout the campaign, we also encouraged team members to complete their pledges to United Way.
We’re proud to share that Russell raised an impressive $35,000 this year! This achievement was made possible through a combination of employee pledges, event proceeds, and a corporate donation.
We invite you to join us in supporting United Way Quad Cities. Visit their website to explore how you can contribute, whether through a monetary donation or by volunteering your time.
As our campaign concludes, we celebrate the funds raised and the community spirit that defines Russell. Thank you to all who participated—together, we’re shaping a brighter future for the Quad Cities!
