The United Way of Van Wert County is thrilled to announce Crestview and Lincolnview Schools raised $31,000 during Rivals United Week!
Rivals United started as a friendly competition between Crestview and Lincolnview student bodies to see who can raise the most money for the United Way. The fundraiser begins in the fall with the staff campaigns. Both schools then participate in numerous events throughout the week leading up to the boys rivalry basketball game, including: spirit week activities, a daily SuperFan competition, FFA basketball game, hot shot, dash for cash, granny shoot out, and t-shirt sales. The schools have decided in the past few years to work together for a grand total, rather than one winner.
Along with the staff and students, many businesses make this event possible through sponsorships and product sales. The United Way would like to thank the following sponsors for their donations to this event! First Financial Bank, First Bank of Berne, Superior Credit Union, Laudick’s Jewelry, Clint Myers Excavating, Slushers Jewelry, Parrish Orthodontics, Harting Livestock, Harting Homesteaders, TruLand Equipment, McCoy Automotive, Dirty Deeds, Gibson’s BBQ, Cheers & Gears, Klosterman Pizza, The Well Nutrition, Daily Dose, The Rebel Bean, Winans Chocolate, Convoy Tastee Freeze, Unruh Trucking, Recovery Massage, and Knights Pizza!
When you give to United Way, your dollars are invested right back into your community. Through the programs funded by the annual campaign drive, you can touch the lives of almost everyone in Van Wert County. The United Way would again like to thank Crestview and Lincolnview for their support in the United Way campaign and this week-long event!
