2nd Annual Emerging Leader Fundraiser
2nd Annual Emerging Leader Fundraiser
Published: December 16, 2016
Author: Ernie Stiegler, Emerging Leaders Member
Our Emerging Leaders 2nd Annual Fundraiser was a resounding success, raising close to $3,500 for summer learning in the Lehigh Valley!
On Wednesday, December 7, 2016 United Way Emerging Leaders, friends and community members gathered together for the 2nd annual Emerging Leaders fundraiser. This year's event was held at Lehigh Country Club in their spectacular Four Seasons room overlooking the pool and 18th green.
The g
rowth of United Way Emerging Leaders was clear with this year’s turnout being more than double that of last year. The full house was a testament to the commitment of young professionals throughout the Lehigh Valley to making a difference in their community.
As with all Emerging Leaders events, the atmosphere was energetic. Attendees enjoyed drinks, appetizers and great company amongst the wonderful holiday decorations.
Craig Thatcher and Nyke Van Wyk were on hand providing live entertainment throughout the night. A few brave souls even took to the dance floor for a brief stint. Ashley Russo, our favorite, was our sparkling emcee.
We even had our own little mannequin challenge with a twist! Our concept was to promote taking action towards community needs by breaking the mold and "unfreezing" - #DontBeaMannequin #ChoosetoCare!
Thanks to the generosity of our sponsors many attendees left with baskets full of gift cards, sweet treats, holiday beverages and more. A special thanks to the event sponsors - Victaulic, Crayola and Capital Blue Cross.
As the night came to an end, our Co-Chair, Sean Linder, took a moment to acknowledge the efforts of all the sponsors and attendees.
