The United Way’s annual fund drive at Jefferson Lab was a success, bringing in more donations and pledges than ever before. The campaign – Breakthrough 99: Making a Difference Every Day – ran during the last half of October.

The Lab’s goal was $30,000, which was exceeded by $3,829. To increase awareness of the annual appeal and to thank participants, campaign coordinator Yvonne Scott, Administration, held two prize drawings. During the early drawing, Steven Benson and Chuck Murray, Accelerator, respectively won a month’s membership at Bally’s Total Fitness and a free weekend at the Residence Facility. Tami Brown and Danny Lloyd, Administration, respectively won a certificate for a massage and tickets to the Parade of Homes.

The end-of-campaign drawing winners included MaryBeth Stewart, Director’s Office, with two free movie passes; Tami Brown, Administration, received a month membership at Bally’s; and from the Accelerator Division, Steve Suhring, Tom Hassler, Tom Reid and Marie Keesee respectively won a gift certificate for Outback Steakhouse, a month membership at Bally’s, one free night at Day’s Inn and a Ruby Tuesday gift certificate.

"I’m very happy with the Lab’s participation during this year’s campaign," Scott said as she wrapped up her first year as the Lab’s campaign coordinator. "The fund drive supports so many valuable programs and services for families and children at risk. This is a great way to give back to our community."

Scott took over campaign coordinator responsibilities this year from Shilda Williams, Administration. Williams had been the Lab’s campaign coordinator for the previous 12 years
