United Way of Lake County to host 10 annual Celebrity Server

United Way of Lake County's Annual Celebrity Server - a St. Patrick's Day themed luncheon on Thursday, March 14 - gathers more than 800 local CEOs, business men and women and community leaders every year. The fabulous wait skills of Celebrity Servers and generous donations from the community enabled United Way of Lake County to raise more than $30,000 for partner programs and agencies in Lake County last year.

If you or your company would like to donate a gift basket, prize or certificate to Celebrity Server, mail, e-mail or fax the following form to United Way. Donating to Celebrity Server is a great way to advertise your business as more than 800 community members will attend the event.
