In October, United Way Fond du Lac County along with Fond du Lac Festivals, brought the Scary Scurry Kids Fun Run back to Fond du Lac during Fondy FallToberFest with the help of FVSBank and some great sponsors. Partnering with United Way gave Fond du Lac Festivals the opportunity to fulfill our mission by supporting other local nonprofits. The Scary Scurry Fun Run served as a fundraiser for the United Way which raised $3,515. Thank you to those that came out and supported our missions!

99% of funds raised for the United Way Fond du Lac County stays right here in our county. This money helped benefit community programs like the YScreen, Boys and Girls Club, Parent Life, Big Brothers Big Sisters, and Save a Smile!
