This year we are honored to have special guest speaker Mr. Jerry Reese, Vice President and General Manager of the NY Giants. In 2007, he was the most successful first-year general manager in NFL history, hailed for putting together a dynamic team that achieved a four-game postseason run and an upset victory over the New England Patriots in Super Bowl XLII. He is the first African American genral manager in New York professional football history, and the third of only five Afrian American general managers in NFL history. In 2008, Reese was inducted into the Tenenessee Sports Hall of Fame.

Caring individuals like you and generous contributions do matter. Because you choose to care, United Way of Essex and West Hudson is able to make a lasting, positive difference in people's lives.
