Recently, Rappahannock United Way (RUW) celebrated the 2022 – 2023 Workplace Campaign companies and campaign volunteers for their success and support with a night at the ballpark! Taking place at the Fred Nats Stadium in Fredericksburg, Hilldrup joined fellow local businesses who participated in supporting RUW’s campaign. We were pleased to be able to BE THERE for our community and couldn’t have done it without our team’s support and generosity!

Inspired by RUW’s theme “ReUnite,” Team Hilldrup was inspired to come together during our campaign’s kickoff week in late 2022 to have fun and fundraise for RUW’s mission of improving the lives of those in our local community. From a delicious waffle bar – served up with help from RUW President, Janel Donohue! – to a silent auction and a 50/50 raffle, over $37,000 was raised within less than 3 weeks by our employees. Our employees’ generosity and support continues to impress and inspire us!

Throughout Hilldrup’s 2022 – 2023 campaign, our creative, fun and engaging ways to give back were in thanks to RUW Campaign Chair & RUW Board Member, Jordan McDaniel Hinkebein, Marketing Director;  and Co-Chair Onie Girton, Senior Vice President, Sales and Client Services.

Both Onie and Jordan were invited to attend RUW’s campaign celebration to thank and congratulate them both and honor Team Hilldrup! Onie was presented with this year’s Star ECC Award, an award presented to the Employee Campaign Coordinator (ECC) who motivated their colleagues to raise, in Hilldrup’s case, close to $40,000 during their workplace campaign through their creativity, inspiration and team-focused approach. Congratulations, Onie!

Hilldrup was also presented with the BE THERE Award, given to companies that not only had a successful United Way campaign but to specifically acknowledge the generosity of those corporations and to commend employee donors for choosing to BE THERE for the ALICE (Asset-Limited, Income-Constrained, Employed) population through their giving.

Thanks to the generosity of local corporations and employee donors, like Hilldrup, RUW continues to BE THERE for the ALICE population through their life-changing programs and services. Thanks to Team Hilldrup’s generosity, we’re helping to tackle our area’s greatest needs to bring hope, resiliency and self-sufficiency to our community!

Congratulations, Team Hilldrup!
