The School District of Rhinelander (SDR) staff held its annual campaign for the Northwoods United Way recently, pledging $2,010.

“The SDR employees have a history of supporting the Northwoods United Way and the agencies we partner with,” said executive director Nancy Sattler. “This check will help us achieve our 2019 fundraising goal.” She added that the organization is in the middle of its fundraising campaign, to which businesses and private donors contribute.

The Northwoods United Way works to advance the common good by focusing on the building blocks for a quality life, which are health, income and education. It serves community members in Vilas, Oneida, and Forest Counties. Currently, the Northwoods United Way provides funding to 26 agencies throughout the three counties. The money raised this year will fund agencies in 2020.

“We are proud that our donation to Northwoods United Way has been increasing every year,” said Mike Cheslock, SDR community education coordinator. “A special thank you goes out to all staff who contributed to this year’s campaign. The District is proud to support United Way’s efforts to offer programming that helps families and children in the Northwoods.”
