Why United Way?
Being part of United Way efforts is very fulfilling, as United Way offers a great opportunity to give, advocate & volunteer with results-oriented community solutions. For decades, Victaulic has had a longstanding partnership with United Way, allowing us to share in great accomplishments in caring for our community. While Victaulic is the leader & innovator in providing global piping solutions, United Way is the nation's leader in providing innovative solutions to those most fragile in the community where my family lives and works.

What do you like most about being a Campaign Coordinator?
My favorite part about being champion for Living United is meeting and working collaboratively with so many amazing leaders in other organizations who are willing to roll up their sleeves and engage with fellow colleagues to create long-term solutions for the community.

What would people never guess you do in your role as a Campaign Coordinator?
For several years, I have served as the Drummer for our Victaulic Dragon Boat team, coaching our team during the fall Philadelphia International Dragon Boat Festival. We compete in the "Racing for Charity" category and even won a gold medal in 2014! We utilize this event to host various fundraisers and 100% of proceeds benefit United Way.

Any advice for your fellow Campaign Coordinators?
I have three pieces of advice:

• Be willing and prepared to be creative
• Make the ask of others to join you in giving, advocating, and volunteering...there are folks just waiting to be asked.
• Lead and inspire others to Live United, Be the Change, and HAVE FUN while doing so!
