The campaign total was revealed during halftime at the University of Alabama’s men’s basketball game against South Dakota as the nonprofit topped its campaign goal of $4.65 million.

This year’s campaign was led by Chairman Brock Jones and once again raised funds to support UWWA’s 30 nonprofit partner agencies.

“It has been an incredible honor to lead this year’s campaign,” Jones said. “You learn so much about the vital services needed in our community and the dedicated agencies that work to meet those needs. It’s an immense responsibility to raise the funds that support these services, and I’m deeply grateful to our campaign cabinet, the many volunteers, and every donor who contributed to this success.”

UWWA President and CEO Jackie Wuska said the funds raised will help the nonprofit and its partner agencies provide programs and resources to ensure children are ready for school, families are financially stable, and individuals are healthy and thriving.

“The generosity of our community never ceases to amaze us,” Wuska said. “This achievement is a testament to what we can accomplish when we unite for a common purpose. Thank you to everyone who made this campaign a success.”
