United Way of Orange County extends its sincere appreciation to Dow Sabine River Operations and its contract partners for hosting another successful BBQ Cookoff benefiting United Way of Orange County.
This annual event brings the community together in support of United Way of Orange County and its mission to strengthen our community. The generosity and support of Dow Sabine River Operations and its contract partners help advance United Way’s work with local Partner Agencies, which provide vital programs and direct services to individuals and families throughout Orange County.
United Way of Orange County was also proud to have three representatives from its Partner Agencies serve as judges for the cookoff:
- Katie Durio, Executive Director of Stable Spirit
- Kevin Pearson, CEO of the YMCA
- Harvey Zernial, President and CEO of the Southeast Texas Food Bank
Their participation highlights the connection between community events like this cookoff and the organizations working every day to improve lives across our region.
United Way of Orange County is grateful to Dow Sabine River Operations, its contract partners, and everyone who contributed to making this event a success. Their continued support helps strengthen our community and advance the work of local nonprofits serving our neighbors.
Thank you for helping make a difference in Orange County!
