Social events
On Wednesday, August 11, GenNext held its third annual volunteer recognition event. This exclusive, invite-only party recognized those who have participated in a GenNext service project over the past year.
Check out some photos of these awesome volunteers celebrating at Brennan’s.
This year, GenNext is on pace to complete over 2,500 volunteer hours and have over 500 young professionals volunteers. Both of these would be records for organization!
In attendance at the recognition event were sponsors Rodney Kinzinger from Deloitte and John Purcell from Monsanto. Both gave brief remarks about the importance of volunteering and the amazing United Way our community has. United Way president and CEO Gary Dollar was also on hand to thank volunteers for their commitment to the community. Click to learn more
If you missed last Thursday’s Serving for a Cause at The Post in Maplewood, have no fear. We’ve got another socially responsible happy hour coming at you this Friday, June 25, from 6-8 p.m. at the same location.
Last week, we raised over $380 from generous CASH tips to our GenNext bartenders. Let’s see if we can top it! Come celebrate the end of the week, George Michael’s birthday and National Catfish Day! No matter your cause for celebration, you can make some new friends while supporting the community. See you there!
*Stop by an ATM before you head over. Only CASH tips go to United Way.
As a new member on the United Way GenNext steering committee, I was so impressed with the diversity of our events throughout the year and the different opportunities that you have to make an impact for United Way with the focus on volunteerism.
One of those different opportunities includes the Serving for a Cause event. Over the years, we have been able to raise thousands of dollars that we donate to the United Way of Greater St. Louis. We would appreciate you joining us for our primary fundraiser throughout the year.
Your generosity cannot be measured by the cash tips that you give to your servers that evening because every contribution helps towards making positive changes in our community.
