2023 United We Shiver Event Sponsors
United We Shiver is the best thing to happen to local nonprofits since sliced bread; ok, maybe we’re biased. The Shiver Family Festival gives adults and kiddos a reason to get outside and shake. The Shiver Plunge is “the easiest fundraiser” for local nonprofits. Each jumper gets to decide what nonprofit they want their funds to go to, so this past Shiver, over $30,000 went back to the local nonprofits! Not too bad for jumping in a frozen lake! The BBQ ribs cookoff is an excellent way for the teams to show off their skills in the middle of winter.
If you want to support this fantastic event, you can become a sponsor, plunge on behalf of your favorite nonprofit, grab a partner, join the Shiver Bowling tournament, or attend the event.
If you have any questions or need to get in touch, contact our Director Kat!
