Poplaski graciously donated the $10,000 back to United Way to assist with their charitable initiatives.

The Brown-Daub Family of Dealerships has announced the grand prize winner of their annual fundraising initiative in conjunction with United Way of the Greater Lehigh Valley. Contributor Vincent Poplaski was selected randomly from participants in United Way’s annual campaign and chose to donate the full prize amount back to United Way and several nonprofit organizations including Bradbury-Sullivan LGBT Community Center and Gilda’s Club.

Vincent was presented with a check for $10,000 by Thomas A. Daub, President of Brown-Daub Dealerships, at the new showroom of Brown-Daub Chrysler Jeep Dodge Ram Fiat in Easton. Vincent then graciously donated his winning check back to United Way to assist with their charitable initiatives.

“We’re thrilled to have the ability to offer an incentive to encourage individual giving, and it’s even more gratifying to see that prize donated back to United Way to help them achieve their goals of expanding programs that benefit our community,” commented Thomas A. Daub, President of the Brown-Daub Dealerships. “We thank Vincent for his generous donation and for being an inspiration to everyone. Brown-Daub has had a long and fulfilling relationship with the United Way of the Greater Lehigh Valley and look forward to continuing well into the future.”

Brown-Daub Charities donates a portion of the proceeds of every vehicle sold to local charitable organizations. To date, the program has issued grants in excess of $3,000,000 and donated 7 vehicles to local charities.

“Dedicated partners like Brown-Daub are the cornerstones of our community, and we’re extremely grateful for the transformational impact their organization and employees have made throughout the community for the past 20 years,” stated Paul Hurd, United Way’s Chief Philanthropy Officer.
