Septemberfest Launched United Way 2010-2011 Community Campaign
September 12, 2010
Septemberfest at Fawcett Place * VivaPop All-American Soap Box Derby on
Avenue
Septemberfest and the VivaPop All-American Soap Box Derby on September 12th
made for a perfect community kick-off to the Greenwich United Way's
2010-2011 Campaign. The scene included thirty eleven and twelve-year-old
racers, family, fans and sponsors rooting them on from the Greenwich Avenue
sidelines. United Way partner agencies and volunteers provided a variety of
Septemberfest activities at Fawcett Place - scene of the United Way blimp,
the finish line, and awards presentations at the end of the race.
Each year over 500 United Way volunteers research local needs, coordinate
the delivery of health and human services, and raise funds through the
Annual Campaign to provide much needed support for them. The United Way is
the largest non-governmental source of funding for health and human service
programs in our community.
