The United Way representatives expressed appreciation to its many cookie donors along with “cookie elves” who helped tray the goodies.
While the cookie sale marked a first-time event in 2021 for the nonprofit’s fundraising efforts, so, too, was the inaugural Suzanne Kresser Memorial 5K Run/Walk named in memory of Kresser, who was a United Way leader as a former director, supporter and community volunteer.
Her death in June to brain cancer inspired a group to organize in her memory the fundraiser that included a Chinese auction and informational tables manned by representatives of some of the agencies supported by the United Way. It was held Sept. 25 at Jim Wood Park in Steubenville’s West End, off John Scott Highway.
“We were ecstatic about the large turnout,” Rauch commented earlier this week in reviewing past fundraisers along with ones on the calendar for early 2022.

“We had more than 104 registered participants and approximately 140 supporters and volunteers come out the day of at Jim Wood Park,” she noted.
The fundraiser enabled supporters not interested in running or walking to do some yoga instead.

“Because of COVID numbers on the rise at the time, we decided to postpone the Taste of Jefferson County until April 6, 2022, due to it being an indoor event,” Rauch explained, adding that a poker run intended for October was canceled because of rain. That fundraiser is postponed until spring.
“Our goal right now is spreading awareness about how the United Way of Jefferson County assists the 13 local agencies that help those in need of the services that the agencies provide,” Rauch commented.
“These services include domestic violence, child abuse, sexual assault, basic needs, seniors, emergency disaster, youth development and health services,” noted Rauch.
“Our financial goal for 2021 was not met. This is a time that our community can come together and show their support of the United Way by making a donation. Those contributions go toward funding our agencies for 2021-22,” she added.
