Deal – No Deal: United Way gives a winning presentation
Today was the United Way 2009 Fall Campaign celebration luncheon, where they announced how much they had raised through the generous support of thousands of people working at companies across the region.
These types of awards and recognition banquets can be hard on the audience – tons of clapping for people you don’t know, sitting in uncomfortable chairs for long stretches at a time, eating high fat foods. You know what I’m talking about.
The United Way team WOW’d their audience with an unexpected skit that definitely proved to be “high engagement.”
Congratulations to the United Way, its staff, volunteers, community leaders and fans who believe in the value of making our community and world a better place for all. Yes – it’s true. Everybody has something to give.
