United Way Mardi Gras a Success

Peter and Debra House Hosted Celebration Event

Peter and Debra House Hosted Celebration Event

“United Way of Quinte is a volunteer led non-profit organization that works in partnership with community agencies and organizations to develop innovative and collaborative social services, health, and community programs.”
For the last two years, I was one of many people that joined the planning committee to collectively work toward a goal of raising $80,000 through an event that was hosted at the Sears Atrium on College St in Belleville through a Casino night.  “With a Mardi Gras theme, more than $25,000 worth of auction items, black jack, other games of chance and entertainment, it promises to be a fun filled evening for all who attend.”. Last year this event raised $72,662 for United Way of Quinte.  This year they met the goal to the penny $80,000.

Our final celebration was for the committee, an event at the Belleville Bulls game in a box suite  with Uwe Krupp, former NHL star who was famous for scoring the memorable Stanley Cup goal for Colorado in the 1996 Stanley Cup finals.

Here are a few of our celebration pictures.
