WATCH OUR CAMPAIGN VIDEO TO SEE WHAT YOU KNOW ABOUT UNITED WAY
Everyday voices take center stage. Local reporter Bill Jartz walks the streets of the Fox Cities, asking people what comes to mind when they hear “United Way.” The answers are real, lighthearted, and sometimes surprising—offering an authentic glimpse into how our work is recognized across the community.
Then the story deepens. Local leaders and community experts share what United Way Fox Cities means to them. Through their voices, you’ll see how our work opens doors to youth opportunity, strengthens mental and physical well-being, builds financial security, and supports a resilient, connected community.
This video blends curiosity with connection. It shows how people across the Fox Cities are united in purpose, and how your support fuels real progress across all four of our impact areas.
Press play to experience a community that cares, and discover how you’re already part of something bigger—and stronger—than any one of us alone.
WE ARE STRONGER WHEN WE STAND TOGETHER.
