Marion County United Way is a nonprofit organization that focuses on improving the quality of life of community members through health, human services, and education. They do this by providing funding to fifteen organizations to support projects within these areas. The Giving Gala fundraiser will help them support these organizations and raise awareness of their work. Chris Moody with Marion County United Way encourages everyone in the community to come out.

“Come out and test your knowledge and try and win the title of Marion County’s most knowledgeable. I’m looking forward to a night of fan, live music, and companionship amongst our community members.”
