United Way of Lee, Hendry, and Glades is excited to announce its 2021-2022 Campaign Kickoff will be held in person Wednesday, Nov. 3, at the newly renovated Caloosa Sound Convention Center. The theme for this year’s campaign is “Back to the Future.”

Tickets are on sale now via our website: UnitedWayLee.org.

This year’s kickoff promises to be a fun event with photo opportunities that will have you reminiscing back to the innocent days of 1985. On hand will be a photo booth themed from the Enchantment Under the Sea dance and there will be a real, live Delorean!

United Way’s 2021-2022 Campaign is co-chaired by Noelle Branning, Lee County Tax Collector, and Corey Vertich, Uhler and Vertich Financial Planners.

Breakfast will be served; masks will be required for the breakfast line.

The doors will open at 8 a.m., breakfast will commence at 8:30 a.m., and the program begins at 9 a.m.

The Caloosa Sound Convention Center is at 1375 Monroe St., Fort Myers. United Way of Lee, Hendry, and Glades has raised and distributed almost $200 million since established in 1957.

All money raised in the United Way campaign stays in the local community to help support the local human service network. United Way Partner Agencies and initiatives include: The Alvin A Dubin Alzheimer’s Resource Center, Partners for Breast Cancer Care, Harry Chapin Food Bank, the Boys and Girls Clubs, and United Way 211, to mention a few. These agencies serve a diverse range of needs in our community such as nurturing children and youth, strengthening families, and meeting critical needs like helping the elderly and disabled live independently, and empowering communities by bringing health and human services to neighborhoods.
