Donor Spotlight:
Michael Vanderpool, UPS Aircraft Maintenance
This year, UPS Aircraft Maintenance employee Michael Vanderpool went above and beyond. Mike wanted to do something different to get his fellow employees more engaged in the annual United Way campaign. He decided to organize a hamburger/hot dog cookout. Mike worked and served hot dogs into the wee hours of the morning and raised approximately $350 for KidSmart. It was so successful, he organized a second BBQ. Serving chicken and potato salad, and raised another $300, proving again that one person CAN make a difference!
On behalf of IEUW KidSmart, thank you to Mike Vanderpool and the rest of the employees at UPS Aircraft Maintenance for their commitment and dedication to improve a child's chance to succeed in school and in life.
