Sentry raises $1,340,000 for United Way

STEVENS POINT - Sentry employees and the Sentry Insurance Foundation have donated to a record-breaking campaign raising $1,340,000 in support of United Way of Portage County. This year’s total announced this week at a private event includes employee pledges, special events fundraising, and a matching donation from the Sentry Insurance Foundation.
The total accounts for more than 40% percent of the United Way’s 2025 community goal of $3,300,000. In addition to encouraging associates to donate, Sentry employees organized multiple in-person and virtual fundraising events including a golf scramble, basket raffles, photography contests, and more.
Sentry presented the $1.34M check to Fred Hebblewhite, United Way of Portage County CEO, during the campaign coordinator celebration.
“Our employees are caring and community-minded, demonstrating unmatched generosity year after year,” said Pete McPartland, Sentry Chairman of the Board, President.
2015 marked the first year that the annual Sentry United Way Campaign topped $1 million. With this year’s donation, Sentry employees and the Sentry Insurance Foundation have contributed more than $23 million to the United Way of Portage County since 2000.
