As a fundraiser for nonprofits, United Way of Dane County's reach throughout the community is profound. The organization is marking a century of building community in Dane County with its annual Community Celebration, a free gathering to look back at the past year's investment campaign and plan for the coming season. The 2022 event features the debut of a new historical exhibit, "100 Years of Impact," as well as a panel discussion featuring Madison Mayor Satya Rhodes-Conway, Centro Hispano Executive Director Karen Menéndez Coller and other community leaders. Livestream also available.
