Ensuring the Integrity of the Sweepstakes
Those individuals that qualify for the Sweepstakes are automatically entered into the drawing as their pledges are processed. Companies, which do not typically provide individual pledge information, may submit a list of those employees who have qualified. Those names are added to the database of automatic qualifiers. Additionally, those people who submitted an entry outside of the automatic qualification process are also entered into the database. Although we cannot publish the list of all those who qualify, if a workplace campaign requests a list of qualifiers from their own company, United Way of Greater Milwaukee can provide it prior to the drawing, but after all pledges received by November 18, 2011 have been posted. Please call 414-263-8100 for more information.
