United Way’s Pop Up Giving is back!

YOU pick the projects with the winning pitch to get the donation pot.

Fast. Fun. Instant impact.

United Way of Southwest Michigan invites the public to attend its “Pop Up Giving” event on Thursday, May 9, from 5-6:30 p.m. in the Beer Garden at Silver Harbor Brewing Company in St. Joseph. This event gives the community the chance to decide where funds go.

Three United Way partners – Boys and Girls Club of Greater Southwest Michigan, Region IV Area Agency on Aging, and Meals on Wheels of Southwest Michigan - have three minutes to pitch a project that will impact the community. The audience then completes their ballots to determine the winner. Proceeds from ALL ticket sales are combined to create a “donation pot.” Second and third place finishers each receive consolation prizes of $300, while the project with the most votes WINS THE REST!

This event’s sponsor, First Congregational Church of St. Joseph, has already kicked in $1,500 to get the pot started!

Individual tickets are $20 and include one free drink and light appetizers provided by Silver Harbor Brewing Company. Doors open at 5 p.m. Presentations begin at 5:45 p.m

Admission: $20
