The United Way of Inner Wisconsin has one message for its volunteers, sponsors and donors — ‘thank you’.

Sponsored by Dynamic Maintenance Solutions, the United Way held a ‘Thank you and Recognition Celebration’ on Tuesday night at Great Expectations Eatery. The United Way showed its appreciation to the many individuals, organizations, and sponsors that made their 2016 campaign a success.

“I think that no matter what sort of service you provide, there’s never enough ‘thank yous'”, said United Way CEO Tari Jahns. “There’s never enough opportunities to say thank you, and it can’t be overdone — so for us to have this opportunity to have the event sponsored to thank those who are willing and able to join us is what it’s really about.”

Awards presented, included the Per Capita Award, which awards a company for a high per-capita giving, the Participation Award, for high rates of participation, and a special recognition of those who went above and beyond.

This also includes leadership givers, which is any household that donates $500 dollars or more to the campaign, as well as loyal contributors, who have been donating at any level for ten years or more.

Janet Giese received a special award for her role as 2016 United Way of Inner Wisconsin Campaign Chair.

“Helping the community is really what United Way is about,” said Giese. “It’s all about the community, and it’s what we should all be doing.”
