Campaign Highlights General Electric just finished its successful campaign, which featured an ice cream social , numerous fun activities throughout the campaign, a pizza party , and still to come... a karaoke performance by the "winners" of penny wars! Congratulations to the entire team for a well-run campaign full of best practices. With the corporate match, GE employees increased their campaign over $10,000 from last year! 
GE's Rob Garry and Steve Roy serve ice cream at a fund raiser to get everyone ready for kickoff! 
Sherry Foutz at Boxley led another fabulous campaign this year! With great participation from their employees, they were able to top last year by over $20,000! Thank you to Boxley for all their support. |
