Edward Bunker

Five lucky United Way donors were rewarded for their generous support of our 2011 Campaign when their tickets were drawn from more than 12,000 entries in our GAVE BACK. WON BIG. Sweepstakes.

 

Volunteer Campaign Chair Michael A. Frey, whose day job is President and COO of Touchpoint Technologies, LLC, pulled the winning tickets out of a huge rotating drum to the cheers and applause of United Way staffers and volunteers. Mike and the United Way Surprise Patrol traveled around the county to deliver the good news to the winners, who chose their prizes in the order their tickets were drawn.

 

The last stop for the Surprise Patrol was the New Holland headquarters of CNH, where Edward Bunker, 80, works as an industrial engineering consultant after formally retiring years ago from the manufacturing firm.  Ed and his wife, Patricia, are looking forward to the four-day, three-night Caribbean cruise for two, courtesy of Travel Time & Bailey Travel.

 

Ed, a Lancaster resident, has been a faithful United Way donor since 1953, when he started working at age 22. That’s 58 years! And he continues to participate in CNH’s campaign as a retiree.

“United Way covers so many programs that make a difference for people all over the county, and helps improve life for all of us here,” he said. “I think so many retirees don’t realize they can – and should – continue to donate. It makes a difference. ”
