Small Businesses Encouraged to Fundraise For The United Way

Cape Girardeau, MO - The United Way of Southeast Missouri has introduced a new fundraising program designed for small businesses.   With the Live United 365 Small Business Circle, businesses become members by donating $365 per year in one of three ways: Making a direct contribution to the United Way, encouraging staff members to raise the money or hosting a fundraising event, such as an in-store benefit or sales promotion with proceeds benefiting the United Way.   The United Way hopes to get 100 small businesses on board this year. Participants receive a window cling to let others know they're part of the program, and will be recognized in an advertisement later in the year.  www.fundraising-ideas.org
