Director of Community Engagement for the Tygart Valley United Way Jolynn Powers was happy to see the event come together.
'United Way is kind of a pass-through for your funds, we don't keep your funds,' Powers said. 'We take your funds, we gather them together, that $600,000 and redistribute it to the most important nonprofits in your communities and those nonprofits are the ones that are in direct service to your families, to your seniors, to your homeless every day.'
By attending, participants not only enjoyed a night full of laughter, but also helped support a worthy cause, contributing to United Way's continued efforts to assist those facing challenges in the region.
