John Zeglis, Retired President of AT&T, Chairman & CEO of AT&T Wireless and Founder & Chairman, Fort Wayne Mad Ants will be the guest speaker. “Each of Us, Helping All of Us” is this year’s campaign theme and symbolizes the spirit of United Way’s mission. “Our goal of $475,000 can only be achieved if each of us recognize the need to give a little”, said Chad Dreibelbis, 2011 Campaign Drive Chair. “Our campaign focus is to convince our corporate neighbors that United Way is vital to the livelihood of our community and many of their employees. Partnering with United Way allows us the opportunity to deliver our message efficiently to the general population and workforce. The more opportunities we have with our corporate partners, the better chance we have to reach our goal and improve the lives of our neighbors. Please help make a difference by being the difference.”
