The United Way of White County is hosting events to benefit its mission of directly funding more than a dozen not-for-profit organizations serving thousands of people in the community.

The United Way of White County’s major fundraising event, The Darrel Chaney Invitational Celebrity Golf Tournament, was canceled this year amid complications from the COVID-19 pandemic. To make up for the more than $60,000 the golf event raises, the United Way of White County will host an auction from 3-6 p.m. Saturday, Oct. 10, on the campus of the Sautee Nacoochee Center. This auction will feature autographed sports memorabilia, as well as gift certificates, merchandise and prize packages from area businesses. Guests will have a chance to browse and bid through silent auctions, as well as a live auction scheduled for 5 p.m.

During this unprecedented time, the United Way of White County is relying the generosity of the community it serves. Your support is appreciated and will touch many lives in a meaningful way.
