United Way’s Dine United 2nd annual fundraiser set for March 15

DeKALB – Kishwaukee United Way will host its second annual Dine United event Tuesday, March 15, in hopes of helping businesses and residents in need.

Dine United is a day where local restaurants come together to help out the DeKalb County community by donating a percentage of their profits to Kishwaukee United Way, according to a news release.

As residents and businesses continue to face challenges brought on by the COVID-19 pandemic, this event is a chance to help support the organization and local families.

The proceeds collected from the event will benefit the 21 nonprofit agencies Kishwaukee United Way partners with, according to the release. Those nonprofit agencies address human service needs which positively benefit the DeKalb community.

Residents also will have the chance to win gift cards to local businesses by participating in a social media contest. When participants dine out at a participating location on March 15 and share their experience on social media using #dinekuw22, they will be entered in the giveaway.

Those interested in participating in the event should call Kishwaukee United Way at 779-255-1267. Participating restaurants so far include Tom & Jerry’s of Sycamore, Fatty’s Pub & Grille and Los Panchos in DeKalb.
