United Way Events – Fun for Everyone!

We’ve rounded the halfway point of our United Way campaign. Make sure you’re up-to-date about this year’s events and incentives! 

Return a completed pledge card and GET TIME OFF! 
Staff members who submit a completed pledge card with any donation amount can leave one hour early on a date of your choosing! (Time off? Yes, please!) You will not have to submit vacation time and if you submit a timesheet, you may mark it as “United Way Leave.” Pledge cards are available in each office, and completed cards should be sent to Claire Sowder. 

Helping communities 
Some regional offices are already beginning to do their regional volunteer/community service opportunities. We’d like to catch Heartland AEA employees doing good deeds! Please snap a photograph while you’re doing the activity and send it to comms@heartlandaea.org to be put in an upcoming HeartBeat! Also make sure to contact Claire at csowder@heartlandaea.org for a “Heartland Cares” sticker to wear while volunteering.
