Dow Reichhold Specialty Latex LLC
Dow Reichhold Specialty Latex is a company with a global market that still knows the importance of its local
community. They did an outstanding job of coordinating their United Way Campaign this year, with an explosion
of creativity, energy, and excitement like none other. When the state fair-themed campaign kicked off, it
featured a host of fun-filled activities for employees to participate in, as well as a Southern Biscuit breakfast
served by volunteers in carnival costumes!
Throughout the campaign, employees learned about the impact of Triangle United Way funded programs and
services in the community. To add fun to the campaign, employees participated in the “Dow Reichhold Midway.” Employees could not resist the temptation to join in the fun with games such as the Skee Ball, Ring
Toss, and Plinko and plenty of pizza, popcorn, and cotton candy on site.
Closing day at the fair featured a pie throwing contest, with the manager with the most votes receiving the
prized pie. The “lucky winner” – President Jeff Welker!
With a combination of employee contributions, donations from the special event activities, and a corporate gift, Dow Reichhold raised over $40,000.
