Organizations, schools, and businesses can join as a group/team/agency to use the Do-Good-A-Thon as a catalyst activity to spark service intentions and activities and improve organizational climates.
You are invited to become a partner by registering and offering a volunteer opportunity through the UVolunteer portal https://volunteer.uwde.org/ which allows community members to participate connect with your agency through acts of service in order to help further your reach in the community.
The Do-Good-A-Thon is the perfect opportunity to engage the community and provide opportunities for community members and stakeholders to get involved in a meaningful way.
What is The Do-Good-A- Thon?
The Do-Good-A-Thon is a state-wide service and kindness contest designed to cause a contagious influx of positive actions over a six-week period. The Do-Good-A-Thon is a re-visioning of the traditional marathon fundraising model that instead of raising money, increases the number of acts of service and kindness in the community.

How does it work?
- Agencies register on the UVolunteer Portal and post Do-Good-A-Thon volunteer opportunities https://volunteer.uwde.org/
- Participants log the number of service acts using the entry form or UVolunteer Portal.
- United Way of Delaware helps to promote volunteer opportunities by connecting hundreds of registered volunteers with the agency's opportunity.
Each act of service will garner 1 point. At the conclusion of the contest there will be a 1-week period for participants to submit their entrance forms containing the # of acts and who if anyone referred them. A GRAND FINALE party will occur at which awards will be given for the following:
- PERSONAL IMPACT: Most Acts of Service by an Individual (individual impact)
- REFERRAL AWARD: Person who referred the most people to the challenge (ripple of action)
- INDIVIDUAL LOTTERY: 1 Random Drawing from individual entrants (promote individual participation)
- GROUP LOTTERY: 1 Random Drawing from Group entrants (promote organizational participation)
