EVENTS

Join us on August 25th and 26th from 9:00 am - 7:00 pm as we collect food items to Pack the Backpack at Hugo's Family Market Place in East Grand Forks. United Way’s East Grand Forks Backpack Program fights to end childhood hunger by providing food in students’ backpacks to feed them for the weekend. A donation can help provide up to six meals for kids who need a bit more help and hope when they’re away from school. Together, we are ensuring no child goes hungry.

Join your neighbors in a trike race against poverty. We invite you to form teams of four to compete in this relay event. It will be a fantastic day of competition, costumes, and food. ​Last year was a photo finish, and this year we will have more teams than ever fighting for the coveted title of Trike Wars champions. Prizes will be given to the fastest and best dressed teams. ​​Come ready to compete and win against poverty!​​

Giving Hearts Day is a 24-hour fundraising event for charities in North Dakota & Minnesota with the goal of helping nonprofits raise money. We are gearing up for Giving Hearts Day 2022. Stay tuned for more information!

Join us for a night of fun at the MGM Grand Forks. Delicious hors d'oeuvres, drinks and dancing will accompany a wide variety of Vegas-style gaming such as Blackjack, Poker, and Roulette. Cocktail attire is recommended, and all guests must be 21 years of age. All proceeds will provide neighbors with opportunities to thrive through United Way’s focus areas Live, Work and Learn.

We are excited to share with you the impact of your support. Don’t miss this chance to learn about the bright future ahead of United Way and the Greater Grand Forks Community. Tickets for next year's event will be available soon!
