You have the opportunity to network within a group of business professionals where no one in the room is directly competeing with you. Instead, each member has a vested interest in helping each other to achieve great business results. We call it 'Givers Gain'!

Please join the United Way of Tompkins County Young Professionals Initiative for our monthly networking and fundraising event! This month we will be at Kilpatrick's Publick House (attached to the Hilton Garden Inn) on Wednesday, February 23rd from 5:00-7:00pm.

A $5 to the United Way is requested at the door. Happy Hour specials all evening! Door prizes raffled at 6pm! Please click here to RSVP: https://spreadsheets.google.com/viewform?formkey=dHRjN1NfRHVvcVpwbzNFdE4yR0d1Umc6MQ

Thank you to all who have attended one of our prior three events. Our last gathering, which was held at Silky Jones in January, was attended by over 80 young professionals and emerging leaders and raised over $400 to benefit the United Way! We hope to continue providing young professionals the opportunity to network while learning how the United Way of Tompkins County benefits us all.

Please feel free to invite other Young Professionals from the Tompkins County region! Need more information? Email: uwtcyoungprofessionals@gmail.com
