Marshfield Area United Way’s United We Can is Back: Register Now
Thursday, February 20th, 2025 -- 9:01 AM
The Marshfield Area United Way’s United We Can is back, and they’re ready to make an even bigger impact on the community in 2025.
There are new award categories, expanded donation reach, and even more ways for businesses and organizations to get involved. Businesses and organizations will build sculptures using non-perishable food items (not expired or within 3 months of expiration).
Sculptures should be 95% made from pantry items, though structural supports can be used to keep the sculpture sound. Labels on cans and boxes cannot be damaged or removed.
Once completed, teams will submit their sculpture photos to the Marshfield Area United Way, where they will be featured in a Facebook voting contest. The public will vote for their favorites using a thumbs up (1 point) or a heart (2 points).
Award categories include:
- Fan Favorite – 249 Items or Less Champion – Best sculpture using 249 or fewer items
- Fan Favorite – 250-500 Items Champion – Best sculpture in the 250–500 items category
- Fan Favorite – 501+ Items Champion – Best large-scale build with 501+ items
- Most Used Items from the Wish List – Awarded to the team that incorporates the most-requested pantry items
- Most Items Used Overall – Recognizing the team that used the highest total number of items in their build
Have a business bestie? Challenge their team to compete against yours and see who can build the most-liked sculpture! Enjoy a little friendly competition and make a meaningful difference in our community.
