<\/a>Members of CDE Lightband team Killa Watts, which took first place out of 12 six-member City of Clarksville employee teams, carefully walks across the Wilma Rudolph Event Center during the 2nd Annual United Way Field Day event October 16th, 2018.<\/p><\/div>\n
Holleman said it takes everyone working together to achieve positive change.<\/p>\n
\u201cFun is the best part of fundraising, but the challenges each team faced in this event are also representative of the challenges faced by many in our community,\u201d she said. \u201cFamilies who can’t put food on their table. Senior citizens who can’t afford the cost of healthcare or medicine. Veterans fighting their own personal battles. Abuse and neglect of the most vulnerable. These are tough problems, but thanks to those who give generously, there is hope.\u201d<\/p>\n
Winters, who also serves as the City\u2019s United Way Campaign coordinator, said participants joined in from a range of City departments, and everyone had a chance to have fun and win while raising money for the United Way.<\/p>\n
[320left]\u201cThis special event is just small piece of our overall campaign giving, but it creates a sense of community among City employees as they raise money for our community through giving to the United Way,\u201d Winters said. \u201cEarlier this year, the City was a recipient of the United Way’s Campaign Spirit Award, thanks to employees increased giving as well as their participation in such a fun event.\u201d<\/p>\n
The City also won the Volunteer Leadership award in recognition of the number of City employees who volunteered to assist the Read United Program.<\/p>\n
CDE Lightband employees on team Killa Watts took first place, while two of the five Clarksville Street Department teams brought home second and third.<\/p>\n
