United Way of Junction City / Geary County will host its 2024-2025 “Kickoff Campaign” on Friday night at the Junction City High School varsity football game. The Kickoff Campaign will be from 5:30-7:30 p.m. featuring a tailgate and raffles.

Nicole Mader, the executive director of United Way for Junction City / Geary County, said the tailgate will be near the entrance to Blue Jay Stadium and will feature a $8 meal. The meal will be smoked sausage, a bag of chips, and water. There will be a 50/50 raffle, along with another raffle, for a chance to win a camping package or a package filled with Junction City Blue Jay gear. Tickets for the raffle are $1 each. United Way will also have their new bright yellow United Way shirts to purchase for the year, which are $10.

The money raised from the kickoff campaign will help fund United Ways direct services and help with their partner agencies.
