Small Acts Create a Big Impact

September 9 – 13
Various Sponsorship Levels

We are excited to kick off this year’s United Way of Greater Knoxville’s (UWGK) campaign with the Week of Caring. This five-day event offers team building opportunities for companies both in-office and off-site that directly impact the immediate needs of our 16 local Community Schools.
With over 6,400 students served annually, Community Schools transforms a school into a space where educators, local community members, children and families unite to build a brighter future.
Your small act of kindness will create a ripple effect in your company and in your community.
The Week of Caring is perfect for your company if you…
