On Tuesday, June 24, 2025, from 4:00 PM – 7:00 PM, United Way of Pierce County is bringing together community members, volunteers, donors, and partners for Sip, Serve & Celebrate, an interactive event at the Washington State Fairgrounds that combines service, storytelling, and summer celebration.
Designed to engage attendees of all ages and backgrounds, Sip, Serve & Celebrate offers a unique opportunity to enjoy refreshing summer beverages and bites, assemble 3,000 nutritious snack packs for local youth, and honor the individuals and organizations who make our mission possible.
“This is more than an event—it’s a gathering of people who care deeply about our community,” said Dona Ponepinto, President and CEO of United Way of Pierce County. “Together, we’re tackling poverty, promoting equity, and building a stronger Pierce County.”
Event Highlights Include:
SIP: Enjoy summer-inspired drinks and light fare
SERVE: Roll up your sleeves to pack snack kits for children facing food insecurity
CELEBRATE: Hear powerful stories of impact, acknowledge extraordinary volunteers and partners, and take part in a live auction benefiting local ALICE (Asset Limited, Income Constrained, Employed) families
