Volunteers: The Heart of Our Mission Since 1934

For 90 years, volunteerism, philanthropy and community service have been at the heart of United Way of Sheboygan County’s mission. Honoring local volunteers and philanthropists recognizes their invaluable contributions, inspires others to take action, and reinforces the spirit of service that drives positive change in our community.

The "Spirit Awards" are an annual celebration honoring the remarkable individuals, teams, and companies that embody the true spirit of giving in our community. This event recognizes those who dedicate their time and talents to creating meaningful solutions and driving positive change without expecting anything in return. From inspiring youth volunteers to dedicated board members and corporate champions of service, the awards are a moment to uplift the incredible people in Sheboygan County who contribute to strengthening our community.
