Wallace & Turner Participates in United Way of Clark, Champaign & Madison Counties 2025 Workplace Campaign

Every year, millions of employees get involved in workplace-giving campaigns to support local United Way solutions that improve education, financial stability and health. Wallace & Turner is proud to once again participate in the United Way of Clark, Champaign & Madison Counties 2025 Workplace Campaign.

The United Way Workplace Campaign unites employees in all offices or branches of a company, and gives them an opportunity to donate, volunteer and speak out for causes that matter to them. You can see the results in your own backyard, even as you're part of a larger mission to affect change worldwide.

The Workforce Campaign is about more than raising money for worthy causes; it also strengthens connections between employees and their community.

If your business is inspired to bring people together, please contact hbrennan (@) uwccmc.org to learn how to host a workplace campaign and make a meaningful impact. Learn more here.
