 SEPTEMBER 2008
Campaign
Kickoff & Pancake Flip A Hit Despite
Rain
A great crowd turned out
despite soggy weather as United Way of Greater Cleveland
kicked off its 2008 campaign and announced this year's
campaign goal of $42.5 million on Public Square in
downtown Cleveland Friday morning, September 12. Many
local civic, corporate and media "celebrity chefs" and
other volunteers flipped pancakes over hot griddles,
making LOTS of pancake breakfasts to raise funds in
support of our community through United Way. A big thank
you to all who supported this event! View
