THE LIVE UNITED PROM
Each year in May, United Way of Clallam County gathers with the community to celebrate the end of our campaign and honor the efforts of those who helped make it a success. This year, we hosted this event as an "Under the Sea" themed prom and our guests dressed to impress! Among the glittering gowns and sparkling tuxedo jackets floated our fourteen LIVE UNITED Awardees, as well as three unsuspecting Prom Court members!
2022 LIVE UNITED Awards
Like they do every year, our 2022 LIVE UNITED Awards honored individuals who made an extraordinary contribution to our fundraising campaign. These were folks who, through their professional influence, personal commitment or both, made a tangible difference in United Way of Clallam County's ability to serve our community. They could be donors, partners, community leaders, board members or sponsors. Regardless of their work or affiliation to United Way, these individuals all have something in common: a love for Clallam County and a desire to serve our community. We appreciate and applaud their efforts!
Board Member Awards
