Our employees organize a fundraising campaign to support the United Way of Greater Knoxville each fall. During this time, employees not only donate to United Way, but they also learn about the impact United Way has in our community and volunteer at local nonprofit organizations.

We are excited to announce that KUB employees raised more than $190,400 this year to support United Way agencies across our community!
