“50K Giveaway: How United Way Took a New Approach to Fundraising”
Presented by Robin McKinney, Director of Communications at United Way of Northeast Mississippi
United Way of Northeast Mississippi has been raising funds to support local nonprofit organizations since 1961, mainly by engaging employees to give through payroll deduction at their workplaces. But due to changes in workplace culture, generational attitudes, and technology, United Ways across the country have had to adapt and find new ways to engage individuals and raise the money they invest back into the community. In 2018, facing a potential shortfall of $200,000 from their campaign goal, United Way decided to get creative and find a way to get more people giving and engage people who had never participated in the United Way campaign. Along with an amazing team of volunteers, United Way raised over $245,000 through the $50K Giveaway. Robin’s presentation will share some of the ideas and challenges that made this event such a success for our region.

Shrek the Musical
2019-06-23 14:00 - 16:00 | Corinth Theatre-Arts, 303 Fulton Dr, Corinth, MS, 38834, US
The world’s most famous ogre comes to life on the CT-A stage this June! Come let your freak flag fly with Shrek, Donkey, Princess Fiona and more!
“Once upon a time, there was a little ogre named Shrek….” And thus begins the tale of an unlikely hero who finds himself on a life-changing journey alongside a wisecracking Donkey and a feisty princess who resists her rescue. Throw in a short-tempered bad guy, a cookie with an attitude and over a dozen other fairy tale misfits, and you’ve got the kind of mess that calls for a real hero. Luckily, there’s one on hand… and his name is Shrek.
Shrek presents a treasure trove of creative opportunities, including costumes, sets, puppets (there is a fire-breathing dragon after all) and more! Irreverently fun for the whole family, Shrek proves that beauty is truly in the eye of the ogre.
