Charter Communications - TRIPLED Campaign and Exceeds goal by 25%!
Charter's office in Rochester, located at 3993 Heritage Place NW, wanted to make this year's United Way bigger and better than ever! Last year we saw success by offering employees the chance to wear jeans for 30 days by making a donation. We hoped that by increasing the days to wear jeans from 30-90 would result in more donations for this campaign period. WOW, were we pleasantly surprised that we more than doubled our total contributions from last year from this event alone.
We continued the United Way fun by hosting a dunk tank event that allowed employees to purchase throws at management staff dressed in costume.
Our final event was held Halloween day, where our hallways were transformed into a mini golf extravaganza that not only raised money for the United Way but turned into a fun team building activity.
Overall ,we tripled our total donations from last year's campaign and exceeded our campaign goal for this year by 25%.
Thanks to our management staff for their continued support of the United Way. Plans are already underway for next year's campaign!
