Third, if you like a little competition, you can challenge your friends and co-workers to start a fundraising team and see who can raise the most for the school district of your choice! Again for this option, text UnitedWayFTB to 71777 and choose the “Become a Fundraiser” option. (For questions on this option email Mitzy Little at mlittle@unitedwayfortsmith.org)
