From United Way:
Brian Gallagher, CEO of United Way Worldwide, presented Student United Way Awards on Friday May 6, 2011 in Orlando, Florida at the annual Staff Leaders Conference. More than 1,800 local representatives from the United Way network were present.
Student United Way is a campus based club or organization led for and by students. At the present time Student United Ways exist on more than fifty campuses across the United States including: colleges and universities, junior and community colleges, technical & trade schools and two high schools. Student leaders are playing a crucial role in their communities through Student United Way.
The K-State Student United Way, the Students in Action, won the Innovation Award for the creative use of electronic media to engage the student population in giving and advocating. The K-State Student United Way was also recognized for their annual event "GIVE IT UP for GOOD," which takes place during finals week every spring. This year's GIVE IT UP for GOOD engaged over 200 volunteers who collected 39.6 tons of furniture and household goods as students moved out. All the collected items were either sold, with the proceeds benefiting local charities, or recycled.
