Sarah Zasso from Target has been working on some great things. The theme this year was to give just "7 cents a day". They have doubled their pledges from last year raising over $4,000! Additionally, Sarah's team hosted a bake sale for Target employees and collected over 4,000 soda bottles to raise cash for the Community Fund.
Thank you Sarah for your leadership on a great campaign!
10/23/2009: Congratulations to Hudson Velley Federal Credit Union ECMs Karen Desmond and Nicole Dixon for all their hard work.
This is their second year in this role. They have built an incredible campaign team that plans to exceed last year's goals. Their campaign has used 50/50s and a dunk tank at their company picnic to raise approximately $250. Derrik Wynkoop and Tyrone Muse, members of their senior management, were dunked for the cause. They will be continuing their 2-1-1 Change Drive, which employees can place their spare change into a United Way account, in honor of Hudson Valley Region 2-1-1. Last year this drive raised over $500! This year's campaign the theme is "Shine in 09". These two ECMs really are a "shining" example and we can't wait to see the results of this year's campaign.
