United Way 2021 Campaign Kick Off

Marieb College’s Trudi-Ann Dyer and Zac Gelow attended the United Way 2021 Campaign Kick Off event on Wednesday November 3rd. The much-anticipated event took place at the Caloosa Sound Convention Center in Downtown Fort Myers. The “Back to the Future� themed program consisted of stories from individuals in need who benefited from the United Way campaign over the years. A 2022 car was given away to one lucky donor and there was a touching tribute to David Lucas who has contributed millions of dollars to the United Way Campaign of Lee, Hendry, Glades and Okeechobee counties.

The 2021-2022 campaign goal is to raise 11.3 million dollars. As the Marieb College United Way Campaign representatives, Zac and Trudi-Ann will be spearheading the campaign again starting in February 2022. Last year, the university raised almost $75,000 in generous donations. That wouldn’t have been possible without the generosity of the college’s faculty and staff.

Attendees received a visit from “Docâ€� and Marty who were played by the 2021-2022 campaign co-chairs Corey Vertich and Noelle Branning. Representatives from Ä¢¹½TV were excited for their photo opp with a replica of the DeLorean from the Back to the Future movie.
