In 2022, at the inaugural event, the Marquette Yoopers United gave the Detroit Redwings Alumni quite the challenge when the game ended in a tie! Over 3,000 fans enjoyed the show where we raised over $100,000 for Marquette County non-profit organizations.

Each year, the United Way of Marquette County proudly partners with over 20 local non-profits to fund much needed programs, right here in Marquette County. In addition to our fundraising campaign, we are focused on matching volunteers with local needs, working together to create a stronger, healthier community.
