Save the date: washers tournament/kickoff
Saturday, September 25 will mark GenNext’s 2nd annual washers tournament and kickoff. Join us at Carondelet Park picnic site #1 from noon - 5 p.m.
Admission is $25/person and includes entry into the washers tournament, food and drinks. You can register individually, as a team or without entry to the tournament (but you better bring your cheering A-game). And of course, our winners will get some awesome prizes.
Thanks to Northwestern Mutual, who is again sponsoring the event, all of the money raised will go directly to helping people through United Way.
The 2010 United Way campaign kicks off Tuesday, September 7. For more information on the United Way campaign or to help start a campaign in your workplace, please e-mail gennext@stl.unitedway.org.
Registration will open soon so get your washer box out, start practicing your throws and save the date for September 25! In the meantime, check out photos from last year.
Are you coming? Do you have stories from last year? Questions? Let us know below.

August quote contest
“I have the August 1983 issue of Wrestling World here. There’s a terrific article about a wrestler named the Revolting Blob.”
Post what movie this quote is from by August 12 for a chance to win a “Live United” T-shirt. No IMDB allowed. Congrats to last month’s winner, Heather Whitten, who recognized a quote from Independence Day.
