The Spring Sharing Rally was held on March 15 in the first floor lobby of the
Denny's Tower and drew more than 100 people from a variety of companies and agencies
throughout Spartanburg. This year, a special edition of "Jeopardy" was played
with questions pertaining to the six priority areas of the United Way of the Piedmont
Community Impact Agenda. Contestants from Hexion, Milliken and Spartanburg Regional
displayed a wealth of knowledge (cheat sheets in the form of United Way brochures
were on hand) and engaged in dialogue with the one and only Alex Trebek (impersonated by
Richard Dillard).
The campaign update was announced, standing at $2,692,764, which is a 16.3% increase in finalized campaigns ( view finalized campaigns)! Roughly 50% of scheduled campaigns have been completed, so we are well on
our way of meeting our $5 million goal.
