While working at Heartland Financial Inc., we ran a United Way campaign for Dubuque Bank & Trust, one of the member banks under Heartland Financial, to motivate employees to give back to their community and help provide education for children. I designed and sent out a series of emails to help inspire people to donate and designed the kick-off and wrap up presentations. By the end of the campaign, we had raised over 95,000  dollars to help children have access to books and other educational materials. The children were so excited that United Way organized a field trip to the different branches to say thank you to those who donated. I participated in the field trip by taking pictures and then building a PowerPoint presentation to say thank you to those who weren’t able to see the children.
