CNA Surety

CNA Surety ECM Jennifer Hill and their campaign committee decided to hula their way to a goal of more than $65,000 with a week full of Hawaiian-themed events that includeded 12 employee rallies held over 2 days.

CEO Paul Bruflat spoke with employees during the rallies about his support of SEUW.

Managers modeled their legs in a "Whose Legs Contest" and employees matched photos with managers. Staff participated in a salsa/dip cook-off, were treated to bagel and popcorn sales, and had a limbo contest. Themed gift baskets were also raffled off at the end of the week. All the fun helped CNA meet and exceed their goal! More.

Holmes Murphy & Associates

The staff of Holmes Murphy & Associates proved they have heart by attending their employee United Way rally. The local office of the nationwide corporation focused on the basics for their employee rally.

Holmes Murphy employees listen to Angela Hyde speak about Genesis.

At the rally, employees received heart-shaped cookies in honor of Heart Club. Rally goers heard about Genesis from Angela Hyde of Community Outreach and were asked to consider joining Heart Club. Great job to ECM Sean Mayer on planning a heartfelt campaign! More.

How did you get involved with United Way?

I was asked by Dana Dykhouse

What do you enjoy about volunteering for United Way?

The people are fantastic, the cause itself is unbelievable. Our Sioux Empire United Way is the best in America.

Our new initiative pairs volunteer mentors with homeless families. Can you share about a mentor that served as a role model for you?

My Mom and Dad were my greatest mentors. At 89 and 87 they still mentor me every week. They really taught me that you need to serve, be a volunteer and help others.

Is there anything else you would like to share with other United Way supporters?

This has been a fantastic experience. The United Way staff and United Way volunteers are the best. I don't think I've had the opportunity to do anything quite like it in my career.
