The United Regional Young Professionals Organization recently completed an end-of-year fundraising campaign alongside Project Smile resulting in the donation of $75, collection of several boxes full of stuffed animals and increased awareness for Project Smile’s efforts.
Project Smile is a local charity that collects new and previously owned stuffed animals, coloring books, crayons, small toys and children’s reading books for police officers, fire fighters and paramedics to give to children who suffer traumatic events.
“We appreciate the effort that the United Chamber’s YPO made to raise funds and collect stuffed animals for Project Smile. We’re happy that the YPO chose to support our efforts to help children who are victims of traumatic events,” said Catherine Pisacane, executive director of the YPO.
The United Regional YPO is a regional civic leadership and professional-development organization that offers networking and career workshops. Every quarter the YPO sponsors a different local charity and splits the total proceeds from networking and donations with the charity. •
