A SPECIAL MESSAGE FROM UNITED WAY OF THE MIDLANDS
As United Way of the Midlands (UWM) celebrates 100 years of serving the Omaha-Council Blu s metro, we are so grateful for the support and caring spirit that has made this work possible.
Since our very beginning in 1923, we’ve worked alongside our valued partners to build awareness of community needs and form a Circle of Support to address those needs. We remove barriers, create opportunity and strengthen the systems that people rely on when they need assistance.
And today, thanks to the amazing partnerships created with local businesses, state and local government, individual donors, nonprofit agencies, volunteers and others – UWM continues to thrive and now supports more than 150 nonprofit programs and direct services across the metro to help our neighbors in need.
Today, as we celebrate the giving spirit of our community, we hope you take advantage of and enjoy all of the free, fun activities – face painting, the photo booth, balloon animals, carnival games, the Community Village and more!
We’d also like to say a big “thank you” to our 100-year sponsors whose generous support made today’s event possible. You can see the full list of our amazing sponsors on page 3.
Thank you again for joining us as we celebrate 100 years of helping others and making a di erence in the metro.
With gratitude,
Shawna Forsberg President and CEO United Way of the Midlands
