PLEASE NOTE: Today (Sept 2, 2010) is the last day to join a team
The Greater Twin Cities United Way has been for the past month or so running a “competition” of sorts to draw awareness to four main issues in our community: Hunger, Literacy, Shelter and Wellness.
They turned each issue into a “team” with captains who are well known local TV anchors and reporters.
Here are the Dream Teams:
Team Hunger sponsored by Land O Lakes
- Captain: Jason DeRusha, WCCO 4 TV
Team Literacy sponsored by Target
- Captain: Vineeta Sawkar, KSTP 5 TV
Team Shelter sponsored by Xcel Energy
- Captain: Jason Metheson, KMSP 9 TV
Team Wellness sponsored by HealthPartners
- Captain: Rena Sarigianopoulus, KARE 11
Sign up with a team and the sponsor donates $1 to the cause.
Simple and easy to do.
I signed on with Jason DeRusha not because I think he is the coolest TV person in the Twin Cities (he is) but because hunger as an issue is one of the things that strikes at my core.
Here is the deal, I do not care who you support but pick a team.
There has been a competition around this and those who recruit the most amount of people go to a Twins game and the best recruiter gets an iPad.
That’s not why I am doing this blog post and why I am not posting my name to get credit.
I want you to sign up with a team, any team.
While on the site if you can, donate to a cause.
While on the site if you can, find a way to volunteer.
If you can, do something.

Thanks.
