The United Way team at Eaton Corporation held its 11th annual Bag Raffle November 16-20. This year’s event was held virtually at Eaton Corporation, with bag and door prizes posted on the United Way’s Facebook page.

The Eaton United Way team thanked members of the community for their very generous donations, noting that, without the community’s support, its efforts would not have been accomplished. Although this year may have looked a little different, Eaton team members noted that the United Way event was still successful in reaching its goal. A total of $4,400 was raised during this year’s Bag Raffle.

“At a time when everything feels uncertain, we find comfort and encouragement knowing that you care about our cause,” team members noted in an email.
