On behalf of the United Way of Carlton and Pine County, I would like to personally invite you and your members at Carlton Area Chamber of Commerce to join us for our upcoming Campaign Kick-off event on October 28th, 2025, from 11:30 a.m. to 1:00 p.m.

This special gathering marks the official launch of our annual campaign focused on empowering our neighbors—helping children thrive in school, supporting families as they find stability, and building resilience throughout our community. Your leadership at the Carlton Area Chamber of Commerce has always been a beacon of positive impact, and your voice and support are exactly what Carlton and Pine County need to drive meaningful change this year.

As you know, many in our community face significant challenges, and with partners like you, we can connect them to the opportunities that allow them to reach their full potential. Together, we can enhance health outcomes, create youth opportunities, strengthen financial security, and foster resilience across the region.

During the event, you will have an opportunity to learn more about how organizations like the Carlton Area Chamber of Commerce can make a difference—whether through workplace campaigns, fundraising efforts, or volunteer initiatives. We would be honored to explore how your team can be involved in making a lasting local impact.

Our work through programs like the Homeless Youth Initiative, Imagination Library, Summer Food Program, and Operation Community Connect continues to strengthen lives in Carlton and Pine County every day. Your partnership amplifies these efforts and helps transform our community for the better.

Please RSVP by clicking the registration link below so we can prepare materials and a light lunch to welcome you and your team. We look forward to seeing you there and joining forces for a brighter, healthier future.
