Mayor Honors City of Bridgeport’s
2005 United Way Campaign Team

Team Captains and Committee Members for the City of Bridgeport’s United Way 2005 Campaign were honored at a luncheon hosted by Mayor John Fabrizi in his conference room on February 28, 2006. Under the able leadership of Team Captains Judy Marella and George Estrada, the City of Bridgeport concluded its best campaign in recent years and posted a 30% increase over last year’s campaign. The Mayor presented Certificates of Appreciation to all the committee members as did United Way representative Catherine Brennan, who also distributed seed packets stressing the importance of “planting the seeds” of charitable giving. As both an incentive and a gesture of appreciation, donors’ names were entered into a drawing. Lucky winners were presented Bluefish tickets.
