Students United and United Way of the EUP challenge you to volunteer between August 2 and August 7! Can you devote a whole week or even a few hours to helping your community? We have a variety of events lined up; everyone who volunteers has a chance to win prizes, and if you accept the challenge and make it to five events, you'll get an "I Survived Challenge Week" shirt. To register for volunteer opportunities, please contact Tara Amarose at (906) 632-3700 Ext 4 #, or email her at taraa@unitedwayeup.org.
Here are the week's events:
Monday - "Bigger and Better." We're meeting for the Challenge Week Kickoff in the courthouse lawn (319 Court Street.) Afterwards, contestants will register teams of four or less. Each team starts with a paper clip and travels around our community to ask for a “Bigger and Better” donation. The team with the “Biggest and Best” donation wins. Time: between 10AM and 4PM.
Tuesday - "Art from the Heart." Come visit our booth at the Sault Summer Arts Festival to create art from your heart for the elderly population in our community. Time: between 10AM and 8PM.
Wednesday - "Everything but the Kitchen Sink Drive" & "Lunchtime Cookout." We’ll be on the corner of Ashmun & Portage from Noon to 7PM collecting donations to distribute to local non-profit agencies. Here's a list of suggestions. Also, from Noon to 2PM, come on down and enjoy a cookout to support Ashley Potter and family! Time: between Noon and 7PM.
Thursday - "Battle of the Bands." Rock out with us to battle hunger at the Strahl Theater by raising money for Kids Against Hunger! Admission is $5, start time is 7PM. If you'd like to compete, here's the entry form. Good luck!
Friday - "Free Compliments & Popcorn." Help us demonstrate how even the smallest kindness can make a big difference! Inspired by “Compliment Guys” as seen at the 2010 Youth Philanthropy & Service Camp, teams will pay passersby compliments to brighten their day. Time: between 10AM and 6PM.
Saturday - Prize Drawing in front of the United Way.
