UNITED WAY FUNDRAISERS
We couldn't make a difference in Franklin and Southampton County without community support. In addition to making donations, there are several opportunities to support our fundraising efforts throughout the year. You can support one of our own local fundraising events or host your own through your business, school, or civic organization.
​
Follow us on social media or sign up to receive our newsletter to stay informed of our upcoming fundraising events. For more information about organizing a fundraiser to benefit the Franklin-Southampton Area United Way, email us at director@franklinunitedway.org.
City of Franklin Trick or Trot 5K & Pumpkin Dash
Join us for the City of Franklin Trick or Trot 5K & Pumpkin Dash in historic Downtown Franklin, Virginia. Race from downtown, around the city cemetery and through residential areas. Join the fun by entering the costume contest. Proceeds from the event directly benefit the Franklin and Southampton County communities.
Succulent Plant Sale
Support our United Way mission by purchasing a succulent container garden at a local community event. You can also invite us sell the pre-made containers at an event or host a "Succulent Garden Bar" themed progam at your event, business or organizational meeting. We provide all the supplies and charge a per-participant fee.
Go Casual for United Way
Go casual for United Way! Initiate a "Casual Day" at work, school, or an event to raise funds for our community. Encourage attendees to donate to the United Way in exchange for the option to dress down. We will provide the stickers for you to distribute to anyone that participates! Email us if interested in setting up an event.
