Head of the Lakes United Way Summer Day of Caring

Join us for Head of the Lakes United Way’s Day of Caring on Wednesday, June 11th! Day of Caring is a community-wide event where hundreds of volunteers complete projects for local non-profit agencies. Volunteering is a direct and hands-on effort to help advance the missions of these local organizations. Not only does Day of Caring provide non-profits with valuable resources, it is also a great opportunity to educate volunteers about the important work non-profit organizations do in our community. Recruit your friends, family or co-workers to lend a hand.

Trivia Night at Warrior Brewing: Fundraiser for the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society

Are you a pop culture junkie, history buff, science geek, or just love answering answers with confidence? Join us for 6 rounds of gloriously random trivia, each filled with questions pulled from the obscure corners of the internet with raffles donated by local businesses in between each round! The cost is a donation to the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society in the amount of your choice through raffles and/or freewill. Teams of 2–6 encouraged (solo? No problem—we’ll help you team up!) Why are we doing this? Because in July, we’re riding 150 miles over two days in the Scenic Shore Bike Tour to raise money for the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society (LLS). LLS is leading the fight to cure blood cancers like leukemia, lymphoma, Hodgkin’s disease, and myeloma. They fund cutting-edge research, support patients and families, and advocate for access to treatment for all. We’re riding for patients, survivors, loved ones…
