Every year, thanks to BMW and Mini of Murray and Tesoro, United Way of Salt Lake has the opportunity to promote an opportunity drawing for one lucky individual to drive away with a free one-year lease on a brand new BMW or Mini Cooper, one year’s worth of free gas, and $5,000!
Do we have your attention??
Here’s how it works.
In its various workplace charitable giving campaigns, United Way of Salt Lake invites employees to learn more about collective impact and how to engage with an investment in the community. The BMW giveaway presented during an organization’s campaign is our way of saying thanks – thanks for taking the time to learn more about United Way of Salt Lake and how you can help change the odds for children and families in our community! Because this is a ‘no contribution necessary’ drawing to enter, all individuals in attendance at a United Way of Salt Lake presentation are eligible to enter by either texting a designated number or filling out and returning one of the BMW giveaway cards. For employees or individuals who are unable to attend the workplace campaign presentation, United Way of Salt Lake provides the opportunity for individuals to learn about our work enter the contest by visiting the UW 101 webpage.
In late April, 10 finalists were randomly selected from the many entries, one of which will drive away in a brand new 3 Series BMW for this year’s giveaway! As part of United Way of Salt Lake’s United for Change event on May 18, each of the finalist will receive a key and have the opportunity to start the engine. The finalist with the “correct” key will win the free one-year lease, one year’s worth of free gas, and $5,000 – there is a guaranteed winner! We’re so excited, we can hardly wait to see who it will be! Let’s meet the finalists!

All of this would not be possible without our amazing corporate partners, BMW and Mini of Murray and Tesoro.
