Forsyth County
Workplace Campaign
April 30 - May 16, 2025
Forsyth County Government is celebrating the arts from April 30 to May 16! Welcome to our campaign page.
Forsyth County is an art-rich community, and county leadership is excited to provide an opportunity for employees to support the local arts community. Once again, nearly every department has produced some visible effort to raise money for the arts.
From this page, you can find the raffles, donation form links, and finale information.
If you have any questions about the campaign, please contact Victoria Burgos burgosav@forsyth.cc / Tracy Mays maystl@forsyth.cc
