Interdesign USA, based out of Solon, ran an outstanding United Way campaign that saw all facets of giving increase. Employee participation doubled during the 2009 campaign and employee giving increased by an astounding 108 percent! In addition to the strong effort displayed by the employees, the company responded with an increase in their corporate gift and raised $2,000 in special events. New Employee Campaign Manager Tina Peery-Gholson, who works as the Payroll Administrator for Human Resources, spearheaded this effort with a used book sale and Chinese raffle for gift baskets donated by each department. Overall, the campaign increased from $5,294 in 2008 to $9,092 in 2009.
